Pros

Continues to be a great place to work. Lots of very smart people, generally working together very effectively, and lots of challenging engineering problems to solve. You will learn a lot and have fun doing it. I would recommend working here to anyone - its not perfect, but overall it is a very rewarding experience, both intellectually and financially. The company is transitioning from being a GPU leader in the dying PC market, to trying to be a leader in the new world of mobile devices. Chances are it will succeed, but there is a lot of struggle ahead.

Cons

Frantic pace of project to get to market can be tiring, and you have to defend you own work/life balance, as management won't. Project decision making process is rather ad hoc.

Pros

Talented People and cutting edge work. Keeps you busy. Good health plan. 2 Year lock for Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Free Dinner.

Cons

Unfriendly work environment. Although people are talented, there is too much of attitude. Too many emails and people do not like in-person interaction. Lack of work and life balance. Poor Project schedule planning. Always the schedule slips more than a year. There is no growth for Individual contributors. There is no compensation based on performance. No bonus and they do not give good no. of RSUs any more. Its pretty much your base salary. No 401K matching. There is no Paid Time Off. They call it, Professional Time Off which means you talk to your manage and get as much as vacation. Who in the world allows you to take a long vacation. When ever you ask your manager, he/she says, we can't give you more than two weeks due to schedule. Lots of dis-satisfied employees that's reducing the people efficiency. There lots of people leaving the company and the management is not putting much effort in stopping that. Managers do not care about their employees. Employees are frequently moved to different managers in a short time. Sometime that really affects the reviews. Overall its not a employee oriented company.

Pros

Always on the cutting edge, always busy. Never a dull moment. No laggards. Everybody works hard, and for the most part, mutual respect for technical competence is there. Wonderful opportunity to learn new and old technologies.

Cons

Long term planning for individuals and teams is non-existent. This leads to attrition. Also very stressful environment mainly because of lack of planning, and secondly because of too few engineers to do too many projects.
