Pros

Some interesting work is available if you are in the right place. The best part of the job is the quality of the work. If AMD wins the law suit against Intel, things might get better.

Cons

Salaries increases have been frozen. No bonuses since merger with ATI. But, senior management is still giving themselves stock options. AMD really dug a deep hole when they went into debt and bought ATI. Major outsourcing to China and India--this makes it hard to move up the career ladder if you are in the US. The recent 10% layoffs were not communicated by management very well.

Pros

AMD has a laid back environment and is pretty comfortable. Most of the people I work with are pretty competent and have great personalities.

Cons

The top dogs seem to be steering the company into the ground... There is a general fear of being laid off. The decisions mad at the top of the ladder are poor and mislead at best. There is tons of waste and horrible communication between departments. To make the appropriate changes there needs to be a reduction in bureaucracy and an increase in perks to those who do the grunt work. Stop wasting so much money on crap and get some real marketing!
