      Pros

      Work/life balance is correct. But at the same time its one of the company's biggest problems: everyone hits the door at 5 and nobody is burning the midnight oil making the next big thing.

      Cons

      Work/life is also the problem: everyone hits the door at 5 and nobody is burning the midnight oil making the next big thing.

      ...when you're not, you're not!"

      Pros

      For the marketing groups, there is a very flexible work schedule. You can come and go as you please as long as you complete your work. I knew many people who came in at 10AM and stayed until 7PM. I chose to swing it the other way and to come in early and leave early. There is also a good understanding that life happens outside of work and people are allowed time to take care of those little things that pop up. I often took time to go to my son's elementary school events, with no heat from my supervisors. And the vacation and holiday schedule is very fair. And, alluding to the title of this post, when things are going well for AMD, the atmosphere is great. There are employee celebrations, bonuses, stock options, etc. And, hiring starts to kick in and teams get much needed relief and to focus on projects that have been on the back burner for a long time.

      Cons

      When the chips are down for AMD, it becomes a terrible place to work. Layoffs become a regular part of life and you have to sit around and watch your friends pack their stuff into boxes and get escorted out of the building. You spend a lot of sleepless nights wondering if you are going to be next. And the work that your departed friends used to do gets piled into your lap, so your hours go up. Management is constantly being blamed for poor communication. There is no sense that the company leadership knows how to run a business. Anyone with half a brain is worried about how the company is ever going to be successful again. As a result, there is very little hope for the future.

      Pros

      good place to learn for new grads. lots of intelligent people to work with and learn from. nice co-workers, no one will yell at you.

      Cons

      nearly all benefits have been taken away over the last couple of years, bad economy hasn't helped either. pay cuts mean some people are getting less pay than even 3 years ago!
