Pros

The only other x86 company; some very good people to work with. A place to change the industry with enough focus

Cons

lack of resources for projects, misapplied resources, lack of focus, multi-site projects. Need better focused management that realized the need for concentrated focus on the pc market and not chase after niches. goal needs to be to take %'s away from intel.

Pros

AMD has a nice campus and many people are trying to do the right things to bring success.

Cons

Too many "home grown" employees squash innovation and improvements that could benefit AMD and help it mature into a world-class organization. There is a "not from here" mentality that prevents adoption of many excellent ideas and improvements. This attitude has stifled innovation and frustrated and neutered many excellent engineers that have been hired in recent years.

Very siloed; no one knows what anyone else is doing very political to the point of your day is 90% trying to protect your job and 10% actual work Not alot of people there for the company, mostly there for themselves, including upper management
