Pros

Great technical leadership, great managers, awesome place to learn and develop and grow. Mostly fun really smart people to work with. Work is interesting and if you aren't happy people are receptive to it and will assign you a different roll. Work life balance was generally good. I didn't realize until after I left how awesome the accountability and support structures at AMD were.

Cons

Their in house verification framework is awful and the people who developed it are pretentious and defensive when you ask them to document it. Overall compensation is about 50% less than other places (both of these "cons" may have changed since I was there)
