Pros

1) Leading edge technology. 2) Competitive environment. 3) Decent pay and benefits, although neither are exceptional. 4) Working in Austin, Tx

Cons

1) Poor financial performance means few opportunities for bonuses or profit sharing. 2) Company is degenerating into management "islands". Collaboration is discouraged by middle managers that are more keen on empire building. 3) Senior leadership lacks focus. Re-Orgs and new initiatives seem to occur monthly. 4) Job titles are completely out of sync with larger semiconductor industry. 5) Poor IT and administrative support

Pros

Great co-workers. I love the people that I work with day to day. They are the reason I am still here.

Cons

The executives suck. Don't trust them. Lies, lies, lies. They lie to employees. They lie to shareholders. Or maybe they are fools actually believe what they are saying. Not sure. Um, wait....yes. Lies. Sadly, they are poisoning a culture that was once great. Dirk gets a grace period since he is new as CEO, but so far, it looks like he is a member of the liar club (which makes him a liar who also takes away your pay - the worst combo).

Pros

There's some amazing technical work being done at AMD I feel proud going to Best Buy and seeing our parts for sale in desktops and laptops. Right now, I'm writing this review on a processor I helped design.

Cons

AMD has grown way too quickly since the sucess of the K8/AMD64 parts. The sites have grown in number, resulting in fractured leadership and power struggles between the sites. After being at AMD when it was much smaller, it's hard to adjust to the large company dynamics of today.
