Pros

When AMD is focused on a program, funding is always available to support it. If you need resources to complete a program, they are generally made available. If you are interested in learning everything there is to know about semiconductors, software development, and computer architecture, AMD provides you with more than enough opportunity.

Cons

Layoff after layoff for the last 6 years. Staff reductions are typically 10 - 15% each year. Awards and promotions are typically reserved for Management level and above. It's almost impossible to advance out of a technician position and if you do, it takes at least 10 years. Management does not interact with employees outside of their individual groups and they are always trying to protect their positions - often at the expense of their subordinates.

Pros

Good benefits and decent salary. God help you if you get hired at the wrong salary or level though - nearly impossible to get a promotion, let alone raised a couple of levels. No real rewards for success other than staying on your boss's good side.

Cons

No real business processes or infrastructure. No career path. The company is basically run on personality. Who is loudest, who sounds the most convincing in a meeting. Timelines and plans are thrown out the window every time someone yells louder or someone leaves and someone new comes in. No wonder the company is struggling.
