Pros

Flex hours. You can get away with just about anything. Not micromanaged in any way. Many people actually run their own businesses from there (i.e. mail order cell phone accessories, etc.).

Cons

Management was extremely disorganized. Can't plan, scope projects. Projects continually cancelled, understaffed, late, finished hastily with bugs. Management often blaming project status on subordinates - so will take time off while the team tries to finish projects under the gun - and they aren't around when you need authorization, etc.

Pros

an exciting place to work but very intense, nice colleagues to work with at engineer level (depending on the group you are placed in)

Cons

Engineer driver culture, poor managers, multi-levels of low level managers added complexity and reduced efficiency, personalities are allowed to override experience, better reward and recognition practices is needed

Pros

AMD hires, retains and rewards extremely sharp minds of the semiconductor industry. It has competitive pay structure and provides good flexibility of work, to take up new/different challenges. AMD also proves a good work/life balance.

Cons

AMD's management and organization structure seems very distributed and isolating. More often than not, executive-level decisions are unknown or unclear and the road maps that are not competitive.
