Pros

Good compensation. Health care is average. Onsite gym and cafeteria.

Cons

Cafeteria food is below average. People in general are very process and rules focused rather than doing what's best for the business. Thought it is "headquartered" in Sunnyvale, the center of power is really in Austin. No ESPP. Legal has an unbalanced amount of power compared to other large companies.

Pros

Beautiful campus, good pay, engineers are passionate about their work.

Cons

Senior leaders (director and above) cannot make a decision without agreement from everyone; Nothkng gets done. Culture of blame and fear. Promotion is near impossible, so many titles and job responsibilities are not aligned.

So much potential, but where are the visionary leaders?

Pros

Despite all the engineering/technical talent that has left in the past several years (mostly by choice, although layoffs have been devastating to morale as well as productivity), there are still some pretty sharp people around who want to do amazing things and might actually know how if given a chance and some breaks.

Cons

Despite their many years of experience, none of the most senior leaders has experience in a role similar to what they are currently in, none has been faced with the internal and external challenges facing AMD, most do not really understand the semiconductor industry or the markets AMD is targeting, and sadly, none really have the support of the employee population anymore (that started evaporating almost two years ago).
