Pros

Best machines to work on, newest technologies, best-in-class software tools, best design flows with great support, exciting projects.

Cons

Management forces many engineers have a very narrow work focus; those with a desire to work on a broad set of tasks are frowned upon. Management oftentimes plays favorites, whether by age, race, or location.

Pros

Lots of great people in the lower ranks.

Cons

Never felt job was secure. (layoffs were common and a lot of time they were badly planned and done) Engineering often had leaks to the public, but management would never allow security to fix those leaks. They would rather not restrict engineering and have half the world know what they were doing before it was done. Quite a few of their money saving moves ended up costing more in the end.

Lots of positive change. Radeon Technologies Group is excellent.

Pros

AMD has been in a lot of turmoil over the past few years, but it feels like it's turning around. Especially if you are in the RTG side (graphics), AMD can be a great place to work, especially with a good direct manager. Raja Koduri has proven to be a great leader and has accomplished a lot to turn around the culture and "vibe" within the company. There are plenty of opportunities to make an impact, especially at this point in time. This is pretty rare for a company of this size and age.

Cons

IT at this company has been getting a lot of attention, but doesn't seem to be improving. They continually prove to be far better at creating obstacles instead of solutions. It's easily the #1 complaint of both new employees and veterans at AMD. I am surprised that the top executives and management of infrastructure and IT have survived this long.
