Pros

The only one I can think of is competitive salary.

Cons

-Management has no long-term strategic direction. -Company goals are unrealistic and unattainable thereby demoralizing employees. -The company very poorly allocates its resources. Some employees are extremely busy while others are underworked. - At AMD, departments are constantly reinventing the wheel because there is little to no knowledge sharing across divisions. -The company does a poor job of post-mortem analysis. - Layoffs are a fact of life at AMD.

Pros

Being an underdog and the urge to perform better. Laid back work culture. having some great engineers.

Cons

All time low employee morale. Getting to know more info from external sites than from the management. Communication meetings that are not upto the mark. Always the motto being to catch up with Intel rather than lead the way and think out of the box.

Pros

Great people many, almost all of whom are at the bare minimum competent and many of whom are excellent at their jobs. Very little fat (as a result of recent RIFs) and no superfluous activities that aren't in some way related to driving growth/productivity. Trusting culture, generally. As long as you get your job done, there's very little 'looking over the shoulder' from management. New campus in Austin is fantastic.

Cons

Strategic, cohesive vision is severely lacking. Execution missteps happen all to frequently, of late. Recognition of and reaction to market conditions/direction seem slow and counterintuitive. Medical benefits could be better but in a climate where everyone's getting pinched on bennies, ours aren't too bad. Across-the-board cost-of-living raises suspended until performance turns around (presumably later in '08). The integration of ATI is still not complete.
