      AMD a waste of engineering resources

      Pros

      There are a lot of smart engineers working at AMD that, given the proper chance, can do great things with limited resources. The work environment is fairly relaxed and flexible.

      Cons

      Incompetent executives, lack of corporate direction, canceled important projects, removal of benefits, poor health plan (UHC), no bonuses or pay raises.

      Pros

      It is a big company with big company benefits offering competitive payscale in a vibrant industry.

      Cons

      It is incredibly frustrating as it appears that no one is leading the ship. Strategic direction changes almost monthly, depending on which VP is on a war path. Operational policies are nonexistent, inconsistent and nonsensical. Midlevel management, for the most part are more political than market savvy and as such business decisions are focused on the need of the body politic rather than the need of the customer. Internal silos cause people to work at times at odds. There is a lack of coordination. Hector is completely disengaged.

      Nice place to visit, but wouldn't want to live here.

      Pros

      I've worked there as an intern and they generally take good care of their coops, the pay is good and its not super-difficult to get hired, they offer good benefits to their interns too, if that is important to you. If things work out with the group you work for, it can be easy to get a job there after you graduate. They have a nice new environmentally sound green campus in Austin with killer views and good facilities. The gym is nice and well-equipped and the staff is helpful. The other cool thing about AMD is that they have lots of great charity-type programs, including 50x15, if that is your sort of thing. Oh, and they have tons of garage parking.

      Cons

      The group that actually manages the intern program means well, I'm sure, but they don't really connect with and support interns very well, they just kind of throw you at your group and say "see you in a few months". There doesn't seem to be a big focus on really helping interns find what is interesting and fulfilling as a career path. Their new campus in Austin is way out in the middle of nowhere, it's not convenient to anything the way the old campus on Ben White was. The place is run by and for engineers, which don't always make great leaders or managers. Interns don't have any way to see where they fit in to the organization overall.
