      An okay place to work if you need a job.

      Pros

      Decent pay compared to other semiconductor companies of similar size. There are some good groups to work for in the company and other employees are willing to share knowledge to get the job done. There are opportunities to do different tasks and take on other roles if you want them.

      Cons

      The company is doing well financially right now. There is a lot of debt and senior management doesn't seem to have ability to chart a course for success in the future. I think the company is just trying to stay alive at the moment.

      Pros

      Some excellent engineering challenges available. Get to work with some very smart people. Access to some very interesting technologies.

      Cons

      A company of have's and have-not's. CPU side of company were the have's, everyone else is a have-not. Content to be a "fast follower" rather than a leader outside of a very small core group of competencies. In panic mode trying to figure out how to survive. Constant churn in terms of projects and priorities. Don't compensate all that well. Company is run out of TX/CA so remote sites get the short end of the deal in a lot of the decision making processes.

      Great place to work, but can be taxing.

      Pros

      AMD is definitely an engineer's company. Ideas and projects, in the vast majority of cases, are evaluated on their technical merit. The company as a whole values individual contributors and allows people to have a wide breadth if they so desire. Perpetual understaffing means there's always an opportunity to take on something new. You're the little guy - fighting the biggest kid on the block, giving the job a certain rebellious sense.

      Cons

      Perpetual understaffing means there's always an opportunity (and expectation) to work long hours for a long long time. You're the little guy - fighting the biggest kid on the block, giving the job, at times, an endless despair quality, and can make it not especially lucrative from an investment point of view. Also, strong individual contributors can mean the creation of fiefdoms, which sometimes block progress.
