Pros

Good work atmosphere, opportunities to move around company to a different position if you want, a lot of smart people, good balance of work/life allowed, ample vacation time, plenty of opportunities for learning and people willing to teach

Cons

As with any large company, changes can be bureaucratic when they should not be. Some things seem to be done certain ways just because they have always been done a certain way. Definitely not a small company or startup atmosphere.

A company with great technology that can't seem to hire and retain excellent executive leadership.

Pros

AMD has great technology and is consistently on the leading edge, technologically.

Cons

The internal systems are very immature & the senior leadership is weak. It's no fun competing in a duopoly when you only have 10% market share.
