Pros

Work life balance and benefits currently better than most organizations when comparing with today's standard. Traditional corporate culture has not been destroyed as is the case by many large companies via lean practices and over working staff. Nice new work facility / campus in Austin.

Cons

Management competency not at market levels, individuals promoted prematurely. Accountability lacking at many layers. Most individuals on teams are okay with missing dates. Due to long tenure of many employees there is bad blood between many groups. The outsourced groups are low quality and hold AMD back. New ideas are not accepted easily unless required or forced.

Pros

Flexible hours / dress code (in my building anyway), everyone treats each other as equals. I'm a software guy, and they treat us better than most employers in Austin. Things are largely a meritocracy, so if you have a good idea you can make a difference regardless of rank. AMD is big enough that you can find projects that will interest you, and managers are usually pretty good about letting you work for other teams and/or on something that you will enjoy more.

Cons

There are some serious documentation black holes (either it doesn't exist or it's old/wrong, hard to find the information you need to do your job). They expect you to work hard (I know people working 70-80 hrs), but aren't big sticklers for face time. Just get it done.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to improve Get in a good group and do not have to work all that much If you are a woman esp. with young children, it is the place to work for. Nice new building to work in AMD work culture is famous for its "laid back" policy

Cons

Senior management/leadership No fair promotion Team members work only in silo's No equal workload distribution No focus my management. Most of the senior managers are AMD lifers and are waiting for the tide to turn against Intel. I do not think they have the same urgency as the low level analyst do. They have made their money But the problem is not Intel, it is AMD
