Pros

Good work/life balance. A new wave of senior management just came in and could turn the company around. If you enjoy being the underdog and fighting against Goliath, working for AMD can be a good challenge and enjoyable.

Cons

Poor execution of consistent CPU product introductions. Lack of trust between the different groups within AMD. Lack of consistent profitability and financial performance has lead to a low company stock price, eroding employee benefits, and low company morale. Recently there have been a few rounds of layoffs that weren't conducted in the best way with some level of pre-announcement and then a delay of action with the layoffs (bad for morale during the period of waiting).

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
