Pros

Excellent technical staff who are motivated and largely competent. Some lossage in recent years as AMD has stumbled, but still has some very good folks. Good work culture if you can avoid having to deal with the vicissitudes of senior management.

Cons

Product management and marketing continues to be a weak spot. Similarly, upper management (Senior Director / VPs has been bloated with a lot of churn and not a lot of apparent value). Perhaps recent downsizing and reorgs have improved this.

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.
