Pros

AMD does a good job of allowing for work/life balance. Many of the people who remain are talented and care about doing the right thing for the company.

Cons

Salaries have been cut 10% with no foreseeable return 100% of what employees had been making before. 401k matching has been suspended. Communication from upper management on down is poor in terms of strategic initiatives and coming changes. Morale is epically low. Product roadmap is still desktop heavy (and margin light) while the market continues to move towards smaller, portable and more energy efficient offerings. Zero chances for advancement, career planning or even mentoring. Often, management are too concerned with the day-to-day buzz that these tasks are absolutely the last of last afterthoughts.

Pros

You can see what computers will be able to do in 3-7 years. The long-term aspects of developing a CPU roadmap over several years is pretty exciting. You get fast new computers all the time! The Austin and Sunnyvale campuses are very nice with good food and health clubs.

Cons

If you are not that interested in semi-conductors, it can be deadly dull. AMD does a poor job of employee career development. As of this writing, many benefits have been temporarily or permanently taken away and compensation decreased. With the many layoffs, there are so many unfilled roles that people are desparately overworked trying to cover gaps.

Pros

Good Pay , housing for interns paid in half, dental, vision and health covered too! The Boston design center have good amount of young people in a flat hierarchy structure. It makes very easy to work with everybody, people is really friendly and reply to each other queries within minutes. There used to be free coffee, cafeteria inside, and very close to building entrances parking lot. The center is accesible right off the highway, very fast commute. All the cubicles have a huge dual screen setup, system support is really fast getting back at you and there is a pretty forest you can walk on those frustrated days with the CAD tools :)

Cons

company is lossing a lot of money several quarters in a row and the stock is very depreciated
