Pros

The new Lonestar Campus is a very nice location to work at in Austin. Three weeks of vacation and a sabbatical recognition trip after 5 years are also extra perks to work at AMD.

Cons

Lack of focused direction, incompetent managerial decision making. From a top down stand point, the management expects us to blindly adhere to their decisions. When we raise an issue, we get berated and thrown under the bus for not being a "team player". This may not be true of all the organizations within AMD, but it certainly is within my current group. There is not much drive and motivation to be working within our group, as we are seen as the laughing stock within the company, and the management isn't helping in changing that view, what with the current intiatives that we are asked to be working on.

Pros

Working for the "little guy" in the CPU space and sometimes winning against the big competitor. To be able to develop great products and sell them with a fraction of the people and money is exciting.

Cons

A sense of dread about the future (of your job and of the company). Sr. Management doesn't communicate a clear plan to the worker bees on how we're going to get out of this hole and return to profitability. There's also a lot of the old boy's club still around and many decisions are made for political or personality driven reasons and not because it makes business sense. I don't get a sense there is a career path for me and opportunities in other groups are unknown.
