      AMD is a well intentioned but undisciplined company...

      Pros

      AMD allows for a very flexible working environment and understands what it means to have a work/life balance. AMD appears to be concerned about the employee and does provide good benefits and health perks for the employee and family.

      Cons

      AMD struggles with executing on a corporate strategy. AMD takes too long to reach an understanding of where it wants to go, how to get there and lacks the rigor and discipline to make it happen. Additionally, the engineering groups as well as the sales and marketing teams are siloed and communication is arduous.

      Unmotivating environment plus lack of strategic direction

      Pros

      AMD respects the work/life balance and supports working remotely which is very valued as the price of fuel continues to rise. Some (but few) managers are great about promoting employee successes.

      Cons

      Lack of direction from senior management plus the continuous re-org's and layoffs - it makes for a very unmotivating and uncertain working environment. Most employees are hoping for a layoff package vs hoping to stay. Current manager claimed disappointment of assigned team (resulting from re-org) and said he was given a junior team; this junior team has 10-18 years of experience. Don't expect significant salary increases for sticking around the company for many years - it's best to leave and get a significant jump rather than the standard 5-6 %.

      AMD - without us you would be paying $1,000 for a Pentium III processor.

      Pros

      Great work environment at the peer level. Upper management sometimes aloof. The engineers work well together with a minimum of drama; great camaraderie. My management is very supportive of a reasonable work-life balance; I work hard because I want to, not because I am under fire. I think many of my peers feel the same way - they are motivated by the challenge of problem solving, not fear or reprisal.

      Cons

      While upper management has been somewhat removed in past years, I've seen recent sincere efforts to improve communication up and down the chain as well as a renewed interest in improving employee morale. We have politics and ladder climbers, but this is nothing unique to AMD. Obviously a major downside to working at AMD is engaging with a competitor who has five times the headcount and resources.
