Pros

interest to focus on microprocessor products. It is a challenging working environment when there is activity. The company has the ability to spend a lot of money on new project and gets good support from the contractor teams.

Cons

too many people doing the same thing. At the present time, AMD is in stand-by mode. One of the fab has been completly unequipped and people have been waiting long enough for the decision concerning the close future. If AMD is to go on a joint venture, why is the information not shared with the employees. I would like to see as well a more centrylized organisation to avois parallel projects of the same nature to be ignitiated at the same time.

Pros

I love the people I work with. They are all dedicated and passionate, intelligent and hard working but they also know how to have fun. My particular manager is extremely flexible about when and where I work and encourages work-life balance. My manager is very quick to praise and I feel genuinly appreciated for the work I do. My immediate management chain is very open and communicates information readily. Our current benefits package is outstanding.

Cons

We have been experiencing some difficult financial times and as a result, bonuses and raises have been negligible. There is little focus on process which has created a great deal of execution issues as the company has expanded rapidly in the last 5 years. Projects can be difficult to implement because of endless rounds of approvals.

Pros

Technology is good - more energetic work seen at the engineering point. The interaction between various engineering teams is great. Lot of learning could be obtained from this. Lot of technical experience lies in there.

Cons

Senior Management is pathetic in the company. Many technical details are lost in the management mayhem. Being an underdog and trying to compete with a gorilla and without much money in the kitty screws the company big time. Product realization and analysis of the market place is very bad that it kills the enthusiasm of the engineers. There is no work life balance.
