Pros

There is a lot of room for professional growth if you work hard. The people working at the company are very helpful and supportive. Also, you get exposed to a lot of problems that you have to resolve in a very time critical environment. AMD partners tend to go crazy when products aren't working properly.

Cons

Sometimes you might have to pull long shifts because everything tends to break down when the product is about to be released. Some of the teams tend to come in very late in the morning and work very very late. This makes it difficult to sometimes coordinate with teams and get your own work done especially if you are waiting on something from someone that stays late.

Pros

Many engineers are drawn to AMD because they want to work on processors and computing. In Silicon Valley, there are only a handful of companies where you can still build CPUs - and AMD is right in the thick of things. It's also motivating to compete (and hopefully win against a much larger and entrenched competitor. Many AMD engineers take great pride knowing that they have delivered a better product than Intel with about 1/10th the resources.

Cons

AMD is a top heavy, slowly moving, uninspired company. The leadership spends time bickering over useless issues and implementing ridiculous initiatives. At the same time, the most important item for a technology company - executing and delivering products - seems to have been lost in all the management changes and rush to make more and more changes.

Pros

Coming from the former ATI-side, the Canadian operations have remained pretty much the same in terms of culture. It's a fun place to work, challenging and you are surrounded by passionate, clever people.

Cons

We will always be seen as "not Intel" and "not Nvidia". Upper management seems to be floundering in many areas of hte company. And AMD doesn't seem to know what to do with some parts of the former ATI that it acquired. There is still very much a "green" (AMD) vs. "red" (ATI) mentality.
