Pros

The Company is in a very competitive industry with Goliath i.e. Intel being the competitor. The competition coupled by the costly acquisition of ATI has hurted the company a great deal making 2006 - 2007 the darkest times in the company's history. However, management has proven itself by willing to take drastic corrective action to improve the situation in the company. Some of the great initiatives taken include changing the leadership to bring in a fresh start, divesting in non-core competency areas i.e. foundry business and focusing on IP, downgrading class of air travel from business to economy, etc. All these and more are setting AMD up for the next wave of success.

Cons

Intense competition from big brother Intel will continuously make working at AMD unstable.

Pros

Great, new eco-friendly campus outside of Austin. Free, on-site health club. So many things wrong with this company that if you can be part of the solution, you can really make a difference and get noticed.

Cons

Where do I start? This is a company that talks the talk and then goes back to business as usual with their blinders on and no regard to the fact that they can't reliably ship products that meet customer expectations. They switch gears every couple of months because they never give any changes long enough to take hold and make a difference.

AMD Toronto employees prefer the old ATI way of doign things

Pros

Being on the leading edge of new product development. Very competent workforce, for the most part.

Cons

Process, process, process . . . a big beaurocracy. Jamming process down our throats regardless if the process proves inefficient. Managers are forced to rank employees, but these lists of ranked employees are then joined into different talent pools of similar jobs/responsibilities, and then some senior exec who knows nothing about you, re-ranks you to fit in some pre-conceived distribution.
