Pros

Great, new eco-friendly campus outside of Austin. Free, on-site health club. So many things wrong with this company that if you can be part of the solution, you can really make a difference and get noticed.

Cons

Where do I start? This is a company that talks the talk and then goes back to business as usual with their blinders on and no regard to the fact that they can't reliably ship products that meet customer expectations. They switch gears every couple of months because they never give any changes long enough to take hold and make a difference.

Pros

Being on the leading edge of new product development. Very competent workforce, for the most part.

Cons

Process, process, process . . . a big beaurocracy. Jamming process down our throats regardless if the process proves inefficient. Managers are forced to rank employees, but these lists of ranked employees are then joined into different talent pools of similar jobs/responsibilities, and then some senior exec who knows nothing about you, re-ranks you to fit in some pre-conceived distribution.

Pros

Lots of interesting technical work at AMD, individuals can definitely make a difference to whatever project they're on. (It's not a small company, but it's not too big that individuals can't matter.) Flexible work schedules (working at home is common and encouraged), and good workers - smart and easy to work with.

Cons

Losing money quarter after quarter isn't exactly a morale booster. Career development isn't a priority (and in many parts of the company it's non-existent). Project planning and selection seems haphazard and more reactive than proactive, which can cause frequent project churn and frustration.
