      Great place to work, but can be taxing.

      Pros

      AMD is definitely an engineer's company. Ideas and projects, in the vast majority of cases, are evaluated on their technical merit. The company as a whole values individual contributors and allows people to have a wide breadth if they so desire. Perpetual understaffing means there's always an opportunity to take on something new. You're the little guy - fighting the biggest kid on the block, giving the job a certain rebellious sense.

      Cons

      Perpetual understaffing means there's always an opportunity (and expectation) to work long hours for a long long time. You're the little guy - fighting the biggest kid on the block, giving the job, at times, an endless despair quality, and can make it not especially lucrative from an investment point of view. Also, strong individual contributors can mean the creation of fiefdoms, which sometimes block progress.

      The company is doing bad for nowadays.

      Pros

      it may be a good company to work for couple of years ago because of the big name and not bad compensation. it can offer on-par salary and some welfare to employee. The restricted stock unit program was good when the price of the share was high (say >20). A good place for new-grad to start their job because it helps to decorate the resume.

      Cons

      The company is doing bad for nowadays. The execution is definitely ill so a lot of major milestones were missed. Extra work was needed from employee as a cost of those mistakes. As a result, share prices is just shrunk like no body's business.

      fun place to work but a glass ceiling exists for non-technical employees.

      Pros

      The best reasons to work for AMD can be summarized into 3 points: 1. Excitement- due to the high pace and competitive nature of the video graphics and microprocessor industry, there is a feeling of team competition that fills the air. 2. Work-life- although hours may be long, the atmosphere is very collegial and simply fun. Many co-workers are enthused to join sports team and participate in other recreational activities. Furthermore, AMD is accommodates your personal life by providing flex hours and work-from-home opportunities. 3. Techie Incentives- if you have interest in the high tech industry, employee purchase plans provide significant discounts on the newest toys. Furthermore, the latest and greatest items are available to observe and test- very exciting for a tech enthusiast.

      Cons

      There are perspectives to this answer. As a technical engineer, the sky is the limit assuming your performance is solid. However, for the non-technical employee, it is very difficult to move upwards into senior ranks.
