Pros

Though the company is going through hard times, the lower rungs of executive management are still reasonably well tuned to the goals of the company and are trying to ensure that employees are as happy as can be given the financial situation. AMD is still the best competitor to Intel for CPUs and Nvidia for graphics and that says something.

Cons

The financial situation is downright horrible and both cash flow and profitability don't look good in the near term. This is leading to a lot of problems with layoffs, reduced investment in R&D and other budgets, etc. It's difficult to see how the company can recover from this when you're down in the trenches.

Pros

Work life balance and benefits currently better than most organizations when comparing with today's standard. Traditional corporate culture has not been destroyed as is the case by many large companies via lean practices and over working staff. Nice new work facility / campus in Austin.

Cons

Management competency not at market levels, individuals promoted prematurely. Accountability lacking at many layers. Most individuals on teams are okay with missing dates. Due to long tenure of many employees there is bad blood between many groups. The outsourced groups are low quality and hold AMD back. New ideas are not accepted easily unless required or forced.
