Pros

AMD has a very good company culture of respect for people which is at the cornerstone of how they treat their employees. Employees are expected to speak up, challenge decisions, and have a voice in how the company is going. AMD is still a small enough company that everyone knows each other, builds strong relationships and generally likes the people that they work with.

Cons

AMD has brought in a lot of outside executives in the past few years who were raised on different company cultures which is changing the company. The large number of IBM executives hired in the past 2-3years has lead to a very uneasy feeling in the company, distrust of the different sites and concern among the employees. The lack of information on what the company is doing with "Asset Smart" is only leading to the different locations jockeying for position, withholding information, and subsequantly very low morale.

Pros

AMD allows for a very flexible working environment and understands what it means to have a work/life balance. AMD appears to be concerned about the employee and does provide good benefits and health perks for the employee and family.

Cons

AMD struggles with executing on a corporate strategy. AMD takes too long to reach an understanding of where it wants to go, how to get there and lacks the rigor and discipline to make it happen. Additionally, the engineering groups as well as the sales and marketing teams are siloed and communication is arduous.

Pros

AMD respects the work/life balance and supports working remotely which is very valued as the price of fuel continues to rise. Some (but few) managers are great about promoting employee successes.

Cons

Lack of direction from senior management plus the continuous re-org's and layoffs - it makes for a very unmotivating and uncertain working environment. Most employees are hoping for a layoff package vs hoping to stay. Current manager claimed disappointment of assigned team (resulting from re-org) and said he was given a junior team; this junior team has 10-18 years of experience. Don't expect significant salary increases for sticking around the company for many years - it's best to leave and get a significant jump rather than the standard 5-6 %.
