AMD will get smaller before it gets bigger

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting technologies, decent company, flexible time off, fairly engineering focused. lone competitor to intel on the cpu front and the lone competitor to intel and nvidia on the graphics front does mean that it is still doing compelling cutting edge research and development.

Cons

poor bonus and stock compensation, too spread out in terms of location. no espp, 401k match is now gone. apparently salary cuts. questionable merger in terms of payouts to on boarding ATI menbers. hiring freezes make it difficult to know whether an approved rec will actually go through, which makes planning difficult. too many contractors in critical software areas does not bode well.

Great work-life balance. Great time to join if you believe the stock will go back up one day.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work hours. Managers don't normally keep track of work hours or ask you to be physically in the office all the time. Good work-life balance. Work days and work hours are flexible as long as the hours are about right. I have never been rejected on my vacation requests either. (Of course I don't purposely take days off during the busy time)

Cons

AMD is burning cash and not making enough revenue to cover the costs. Lay offs are depressing. Stock going down is depressing. I came from ATI. One of the first thing AMD senior managements promised in 2006 when they aquired ATI was to continue the quarterly all-hand meetings. They failed on the very first quarter after the merger. There hasn't been enough visibility of what's going on besides your own team.

Business Outlook

Pros

Access to leading edge technology. The work atmosphere is generally fairly civil and relaxed. You also get to say you're taking a part in taking on the 800lb gorilla known as Intel.

Cons

Stiff competition and the tendency to bleed cash constantly. The stress level can get high when the company is losing money which is often which leads to low moral.
