      Such potential for greatness, squandered by poor decision making

      Pros

      If you are looking to learn the ins and outs of a fab-based silicon technology company there is nowhere else to start but AMD (unless you want to go straight to the Intel). AMD has access to key technology partners the world over, allowing you to see how products will be integrated into businesses and cultures everywhere.

      Cons

      It's sad to say it, but the upper management seems truly lost. Employees know as little about what the plan is to succeed as Wall Street does. There were some remarkably bad engineering decisions made with the current CPU and GPU product lines; yet there were even worse management bets made that have now left the company hamstrung and cash poor.

      Pros

      nonstop leading edge work. if you like to work this is a great place, manufacturing is open 24/7 so its easy to just keep on working. Free coffee too! Great incentives if you are in the inner circle. forge tight relationships with fellow employees even outside of work. Usually located in great cities to live in: Si valley, Austin, TX, Dresden, DE, Singapore. Constant innovation at many levels of organization.

      Cons

      politics, long hours, average pay, weak incentives if you are not in the loop. Sales guys must not understand how to forecast future sales, and I would say are the biggest component as to why AMD tends to fall behind in technologies and new products.

      Pros

      AMD has decent salary and benefits

      Cons

      management does not have a clue. Very secretive. Politcal hotbed. Decisions aren't made intelligently. Alot of unqualified people in upper management. Good ol boy structure and heirarchy. Way too top heavy. Back-biting environment. Sexism. 13 -15 hr work day. Brutal sr.. management regarding strategy and decision making. Bad communication-crazy environment-no mission, strategy objectives-obvious lies to employees.
