Pros

Some excellent engineering challenges available. Get to work with some very smart people. Access to some very interesting technologies.

Cons

A company of have's and have-not's. CPU side of company were the have's, everyone else is a have-not. Content to be a "fast follower" rather than a leader outside of a very small core group of competencies. In panic mode trying to figure out how to survive. Constant churn in terms of projects and priorities. Don't compensate all that well. Company is run out of TX/CA so remote sites get the short end of the deal in a lot of the decision making processes.

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.

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.
