Pros

*Work/life balance is great. *Do not have to be creative as you can let Intel do the marketing for you. *Before Hector, a fun family environment to work in *Intel is hated by so many of it's customers, they run to you for help and pray AMD never goes away *Despite a very incompetent egocentric dysfunctional executive team, somehow, you'll like working with your colleagues - not so much inter-team fighting

Cons

*Lack of a sane vision (fusion is not sane) *Political infighting is unparalleled *To heavily focused in Austin. The Austin talent pool has long been tapped out *Most AMDers who work in Austin hate technology and treat it like a 9-5 government job, and forget everything at 4:58pm *It still has so many open bleeding sores from the Hector years, we wondering if she'll live *The CEO doesn't like to travel and feels uncomfortable in front of customers *Intel owns the x86 license and will always no exactly how many processors you sell *If Intel couldn't convince people to change their software for Itanium, what makes AMD think they customers will change their software for their "fusion"initiative

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
