Pros

A chance to work on the latest and greatest technology in the PC industry with lots of very smart coworkers. We get to work on projects that will define mainstream PC platforms in the 3-5 year horizon, well before most other downstream companies are involved. Lots of great products are in the pipeline, and now we just need to execute to get back in the black.

Cons

Poor company performance, excessive meetings and bureaucracy. The company is still struggling to complete the integration of ATI into AMD, and the vastly different company cultures are probably hindering this transition a bit. Long-term AMDers are used to down business cycles such as the current one. Newer employees may not have seen something like this in the past, which can make them nervous about the future.

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.
