Pros

Good technology and lots of promise around the products. Number one competition on the x86 side is still in disarray.

Cons

Very tops down with all major and most minor decisions going directly to Lisa Su. Also, the overall compensation is poor. Stock grants are not competitive, the bonus goals / structure is setup to never give anyone anywhere close to 100% and the yearly % increase salary "pool" given to managers are usually funded below the inflation rates. All in all, a great place to go if you want to fade into the background and get a paycheck or get exposure to good technology and then go somewhere else for better pay and more empowerment.

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.
