Pros

Many engineers are drawn to AMD because they want to work on processors and computing. In Silicon Valley, there are only a handful of companies where you can still build CPUs - and AMD is right in the thick of things. It's also motivating to compete (and hopefully win against a much larger and entrenched competitor. Many AMD engineers take great pride knowing that they have delivered a better product than Intel with about 1/10th the resources.

Cons

AMD is a top heavy, slowly moving, uninspired company. The leadership spends time bickering over useless issues and implementing ridiculous initiatives. At the same time, the most important item for a technology company - executing and delivering products - seems to have been lost in all the management changes and rush to make more and more changes.

Pros

Coming from the former ATI-side, the Canadian operations have remained pretty much the same in terms of culture. It's a fun place to work, challenging and you are surrounded by passionate, clever people.

Cons

We will always be seen as "not Intel" and "not Nvidia". Upper management seems to be floundering in many areas of hte company. And AMD doesn't seem to know what to do with some parts of the former ATI that it acquired. There is still very much a "green" (AMD) vs. "red" (ATI) mentality.

Pros

They are a market leader so you feel proud to be a part of a team making great products. Their graphics products are top notch.

Cons

Not forward thinking enough (at least in my department). They used out dated technology and were always applying bandaid solutions to exist problems repeatedly. We spent more time cleaning up after our own poor quick fixes then working ahead to buy us time to catch our breath and rethink some processes.
