Pros

stable after the first few years family/work balance flexible talented colleagues

Cons

Workplace politics The high level technical staffs, PMTSes and Fellows to be specific, have too much weight in AMD's promotion process and unfortunately they don't care much about detail oriented tasks like coding and fixing bugs etc,. Working on these tasks might keep you away from being laid off but certainly won't help you much with your career development. Participating meetings and asking questions to draw attention or making friends with PMTS(having lunch with them is a good start) are the ways to go.

Pros

Work with high-caliber engineering peers. Despite attrition, company still has an amazing reservoir of talent and skill sets. Makes it a great place to learn, and have a lot of fun. Plenty of opportunities to innovate and influence the design and flow. Access to technical decisions is not hidden. Even junior employees can make impactful contributions and influence technical directions if they have the wherewithal to make the ROI case.

Cons

Company has been financially challenged for years. Many benefits have already been jettisoned, and remaining ones are getting sliced.
