Pros

AMD is great proving ground and place to learn new things and expand your knowledge base. More than likely you will do the work of five people. Learn all that you can.

Cons

The company cannot consistantly perform in the black. It is sad because there are some great people at this company that continue to suffer through the threat of layoffs and years without raises.

Pros

Massive growth has lead to many opportunities to fill gaps created and excel by taking initiative to fix the problems that growth causes. In many respects, you are allowed to carve out your own path for success in the company. Everyone has a role, but there is plenty of encouragement for those who want to own something to take the lead.

Cons

We take risks over time and we are currently at an inflection point that coupled with recent delays makes the company a bit uncertain. If the company does not return to profitability in 2nd half of 2008 there will be much darker times ahead.

Pros

AMD provides great work life balance and flexibility for employees. In general, my peers are very talented individuals who genuinely care about the company and want to see it succeed. There is good camaraderie among workgroups which helps given the overarching situation the company is facing. There is also a desire among many of the leaders of the company to make changes and improve the overall operating environment. Unfortunately, they're unable to execute on those changes which leaves the company stuck in its current state. The other big positive is the location. Great new campus in Austin which has really improved the overall working environment.

Cons

Where to begin on this one... first of all overall employee morale is abysmal. Employees feel like they're in the dark about what is happening with the company, and at the same time unempowered to affect the changes they know need to be made. There seems to be an unwillingness by senior management to make the difficult changes which leaves "empires" within the company untouched letting major issues fester. On top of that, there has been a significant amount of promotion from within lately leading to the same thinking and same issues continuing to repeat themselves within senior management. All in all, major structural changes are needed at AMD to right the company. It starts at the top and needs to continue through several levels of management to get the right people, right attitudes, and right talent in place.
