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.

Pros

The mentoring program was great, I was teamed with a brilliant employee who never hesitated to answer my questions. Other co-ops I worked with felt the same way. I started with tedious work, but as you prove yourself, opportunities open to work on real projects that full-time employees would work on.

Cons

Space was cramped, as you had 2, sometimes 3 people sharing a cubicle/office. They have a new building on Austin, so I don't know how that has changed with the move there.
