Pros

.People are the biggest asset, but egos get in the way or progress. Good ideas go by the way side and egos rule; just look at the stock price.

Cons

AMD fails to realize that people are its biggest asset.

Pros

* Always pushing the envelope of technology * Fast paced, cut-throat business - very exciting

Cons

* Poor upper executive management leadership. They have lacked the long term vision and has allowed the company to fall behind in the market. * Poor communication to the employees by the exec management. Instead of really talking about what the problems are and what is being down to fix them, management decides to put together a marketing like slide presentation that was pure BS.

Pros

Good work/life balance. A new wave of senior management just came in and could turn the company around. If you enjoy being the underdog and fighting against Goliath, working for AMD can be a good challenge and enjoyable.

Cons

Poor execution of consistent CPU product introductions. Lack of trust between the different groups within AMD. Lack of consistent profitability and financial performance has lead to a low company stock price, eroding employee benefits, and low company morale. Recently there have been a few rounds of layoffs that weren't conducted in the best way with some level of pre-announcement and then a delay of action with the layoffs (bad for morale during the period of waiting).
