Maybe it was a great place once, but I hate it here now.

Pros

Work life balance is about the ONLY area remaining where things are still OK at AMD. Otherwise there is nothing left for me here other than a decent commute.

Cons

No Innovation. No potential for advancement. Every job is being exported to India while all the competent folks I used to work with were laid off in the technical tracks. Marketing runs the show, and makes stupid decisions based on made up projections for future sales. The "Vision" and "Fusion" campaigns are a laugh, and our customers don't know we exist.

Pros

I thought I was very well paid for the job I was hired for.

Cons

I found that I was limited in growth being a product development engineer. The work that I had to do was very basic and often, I felt that the group I was in was overstaffed... Too many people not enough work. I did not like the fact that there were too many mini leads, leads between the individual contributor and the actual manger.

Pros

There is lot of challenging and interesting work that you can find in AMD. You can also get an opportunity to work with other leading companies in different related industries. Work culture is good, flexible timings, option to work remotely. Think about it this way, if you land a good position in a good group your work can directly impact mainstream hardware and software industry.

Cons

Work culture, compensation, opportunity to grow can highly depend on the group that you work for. Below average compensation for Software professionals.
