Pros

Lots of interesting technical work at AMD, individuals can definitely make a difference to whatever project they're on. (It's not a small company, but it's not too big that individuals can't matter.) Flexible work schedules (working at home is common and encouraged), and good workers - smart and easy to work with.

Cons

Losing money quarter after quarter isn't exactly a morale booster. Career development isn't a priority (and in many parts of the company it's non-existent). Project planning and selection seems haphazard and more reactive than proactive, which can cause frequent project churn and frustration.

Pros

The mentoring program was great, I was teamed with a brilliant employee who never hesitated to answer my questions. Other co-ops I worked with felt the same way. I started with tedious work, but as you prove yourself, opportunities open to work on real projects that full-time employees would work on.

Cons

Space was cramped, as you had 2, sometimes 3 people sharing a cubicle/office. They have a new building on Austin, so I don't know how that has changed with the move there.

Pros

AMD provides good pay for the industry to attract people

Cons

It is like watching a train wreck - you can see it coming but there's no getting out of the way. The constant reorganization and direction changes are dizzying to say the least.
