      Pros

      People are friendly, smart, and laid back. Most people arrive sometime before 9am, leave before 5pm. Working from home is an option for most. The work is fun, demanding and sometimes rewarding

      Cons

      Dismal economic standing, limited promotions within, lots of management changes. Lots of good people laid off has meant that a lot of work has been left undone over the last year. Many of these holes have been unfilled, meaning that required stuff just doesn't get done.

      Chip company that is most likely to run into a sharp object.

      Pros

      Great co-workers. I love the people that I work with day to day. They are the reason I am still here.

      Cons

      The executives suck. Don't trust them. Lies, lies, lies. They lie to employees. They lie to shareholders. Or maybe they are fools actually believe what they are saying. Not sure. Um, wait....yes. Lies. Sadly, they are poisoning a culture that was once great. Dirk gets a grace period since he is new as CEO, but so far, it looks like he is a member of the liar club (which makes him a liar who also takes away your pay - the worst combo).

      fun place to work but a glass ceiling exists for non-technical employees.

      Pros

      The best reasons to work for AMD can be summarized into 3 points: 1. Excitement- due to the high pace and competitive nature of the video graphics and microprocessor industry, there is a feeling of team competition that fills the air. 2. Work-life- although hours may be long, the atmosphere is very collegial and simply fun. Many co-workers are enthused to join sports team and participate in other recreational activities. Furthermore, AMD is accommodates your personal life by providing flex hours and work-from-home opportunities. 3. Techie Incentives- if you have interest in the high tech industry, employee purchase plans provide significant discounts on the newest toys. Furthermore, the latest and greatest items are available to observe and test- very exciting for a tech enthusiast.

      Cons

      There are perspectives to this answer. As a technical engineer, the sky is the limit assuming your performance is solid. However, for the non-technical employee, it is very difficult to move upwards into senior ranks.
