Pros

.People are the biggest asset, but egos get in the way or progress. Good ideas go by the way side and egos rule; just look at the stock price.

Cons

AMD fails to realize that people are its biggest asset.

Pros

* Always pushing the envelope of technology * Fast paced, cut-throat business - very exciting

Cons

* Poor upper executive management leadership. They have lacked the long term vision and has allowed the company to fall behind in the market. * Poor communication to the employees by the exec management. Instead of really talking about what the problems are and what is being down to fix them, management decides to put together a marketing like slide presentation that was pure BS.

Pros

The technical challenge of the work makes it very interesting for an engineer. While the work is challenging the company is currently at a massively uncompetitive position with respect to their main competitor resulting in the engineers being under extreme pressure to deliver a product that will save the company. Ultimately the engineering team will be the scapegoat for the mismanagement and poor strategic product definition that got them to this position.

Cons

The management at the Sunnyvale facility is destructive. The level of management incompetence is truly remarkable and nepotism is completely out of control.
