Pros

Good people and teamwork. The tough competitive environment makes the success of each project counts and demands innovative ideas. You'll take on more responsibilities than in a bigger company. AMD always gives back to its community through donations and volunteer works

Cons

Management, management, and management! Top management doesn't know how to evaluate deals or make good decisions. There isn't enough accountability on senior executives. The company is extremely top heavy. Communivation from management is poor and employees are usually the last to know any news.

Pros

AMD has alot going for it. Most of the people that work there truly want to be there. The worker bees and middle management are competent and teamwork is valued highly. Prima Donna behavior isn't tolerated at AMD as much as it is at other high tech companies. All in all AMD is an enjoyable place to work at.

Cons

It gets tiresome wondering if the company will survive and if your job will still exist a year from now. Senior management flip flops on important issues too much, ruining their credibility internally and driving the stock down even lower than it should be.

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.
