Pros

My group provided a very positive work environment and there was lots of opportunities to work on various aspects of the projects. I also like the manager I work under and he does a good job of giving me interesting work when the situation allows it. The new site in Austin is very nice to work in with lots of amenities like a cafeteria, gym, basketball courts...etc.

Cons

Due to the recent financial results for AMD, they had to cut back on various things such as merit increases, bonuses, sabbaticals, employee stock purchase plans. It's hard to stay motivated when they also seem to cancel a lot of projects.

Pros

AMD permits a better work / life balance then many other companies.

Cons

Executive management does not look out for the employees best interests. They are more concerned about creating new companies then the employees well being. We are constantly under the gun for layoffs and have not shown a profit in 2 years. Morale is awful right now and jobs are being outsourced oversees. I used to love coming to work here, but morale has gotten worse and worse over the years.

Pros

The olds, working for founder Jerry Sanders was great. Never a dull moment. Gave you enough opportunity to do good work. He expected/demanded a lot, but it was worth it.

Cons

The huge swings from good times to bad times, back to good times, and back, were a real drain on employees. Too much stress. Company culture shifted when the bulk of management shifted to Austin, TX.
