Pros

Great place to learn. You are one of the few that really understands how to build complex chips.

Cons

It is like working for the Government. The decisions are slow.

Pros

Intelligent people who have a desire to do the right thing. Those people who have stayed with the company through the bad times have developed a sense of community that is hard to beat. The technical track at AMD is outstanding, and recently they started developing these individuals at the top level in order to have more effective technical people without trying to turn them into managers.

Cons

AMD's management has a lack of direction and leadership. To top that off, they don't know how to communicate what they are doing. The monetary benefits have dramatically dropped off in the last few years to the point that while you might get a salary increase (which is fairly small) that you have probably had a realized reduction in take home money from the loss of other benefits.

Pros

Money is ok, fast paced, and very high tech. Learned a lot in the early part of my career, but lately i've been turned in an execution machine that can have no opinion on anything. very very fast paced, you can learn a lot at the beginning...

Cons

They work you like crazy with no regard for your personal life. Every project is the most urgent thing on the face of the planet. Most of the time these projects flop and never sell. That doesn't motivate people when we work like crazy to get the chips out the door only to have nothing to show for it but layoffs. Errrrrrr!
