Pros

There are some good engineers here, the working environment is comfortable enough, the technology is interesting. Working hours can be flexible, although in my experience you will pay for trying to take advantage of that in the long run because you are not building up your appearance of being a "hard worker".

Cons

Lots of political games for advancement, management is poor from the lower levels to the upper, with only a few exceptions, pay and other rewards are low for the industry though management will constantly tell you otherwise.

Pros

The engineering talent is fantastic. Lots of smart people here. There's a lot of cutting edge technology still at AMD, so you're still working on products that have never existed before. Although some compensation perks have faded out (ESPP, sabbatical program), compensation is still pretty good.

Cons

Lots of upper management changes in the last few years has resulted in constantly shifting priorities, processes, ad roadmaps. You never quite feel in a place of stability. It's introduced a lot of politics as middle management tries to figure out how to please upper managers.
