Business Outlook

Pros

The free cards are very nice, especially before they are released. There are some very nice benefits. In the past the stock options were very nice.

Cons

There really is too much nepotism. There really is not too much process not there rightly or wrongly. There really is way too much politics. You really do need to be on the hardware team to be respected at all. Being in Software is being on the second class team.

Constantly changing execs, changing strategy, and changing organization structure is not a path to success.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is relatively high. Industry is very dynamic. Jobs are always changing... you won't be bored! You can take on big challenges and there is plenty of work.

Cons

Senior management is completely incompetent. Revolving doors for execs, no continuity in management or strategy, always reorganizing, persistent cash crunch. Morale is terrible. Many employees just trying to lay low to keep their paychecks.

Pros

Money. They Pay well, that is about it. The campus is beautiful, and the people are friendly from a personal standpoint, but organization is terrible.

Cons

The internal workings of AMD are a complete mess, the management does not know what they are doing and treat the employees very poorly. Extremely intelligent people are denied the promotions and raises that they deserve, and those that get them generally get them by brown-nosing management.
