Pros

You can see what computers will be able to do in 3-7 years. The long-term aspects of developing a CPU roadmap over several years is pretty exciting. You get fast new computers all the time! The Austin and Sunnyvale campuses are very nice with good food and health clubs.

Cons

If you are not that interested in semi-conductors, it can be deadly dull. AMD does a poor job of employee career development. As of this writing, many benefits have been temporarily or permanently taken away and compensation decreased. With the many layoffs, there are so many unfilled roles that people are desparately overworked trying to cover gaps.

Pros

Good Pay , housing for interns paid in half, dental, vision and health covered too! The Boston design center have good amount of young people in a flat hierarchy structure. It makes very easy to work with everybody, people is really friendly and reply to each other queries within minutes. There used to be free coffee, cafeteria inside, and very close to building entrances parking lot. The center is accesible right off the highway, very fast commute. All the cubicles have a huge dual screen setup, system support is really fast getting back at you and there is a pretty forest you can walk on those frustrated days with the CAD tools :)

Cons

company is lossing a lot of money several quarters in a row and the stock is very depreciated

Pros

Great place to get started out of school, decent pay and good benefits. The new Austin location is in a beautiful place to work and provides picturesque views of the Texas hill country and downtown Austin. New processes are going into effect that will help the company long term.

Cons

Over the 15 months I've been here I have witnessed 4 layoffs, 0 profitable quarters and have a hard time seeing the company pull out of this recession with a breath left to fight. Money is still being flung around amidst the tightening belt and little is being done to prevent it.
