A good work environment but they have had to cut back on a lot of benefits recently.

Business Outlook

Pros

My group provided a very positive work environment and there was lots of opportunities to work on various aspects of the projects. I also like the manager I work under and he does a good job of giving me interesting work when the situation allows it. The new site in Austin is very nice to work in with lots of amenities like a cafeteria, gym, basketball courts...etc.

Cons

Due to the recent financial results for AMD, they had to cut back on various things such as merit increases, bonuses, sabbaticals, employee stock purchase plans. It's hard to stay motivated when they also seem to cancel a lot of projects.

An okay place to work if you need a job.

Senior design engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay compared to other semiconductor companies of similar size. There are some good groups to work for in the company and other employees are willing to share knowledge to get the job done. There are opportunities to do different tasks and take on other roles if you want them.

Cons

The company is doing well financially right now. There is a lot of debt and senior management doesn't seem to have ability to chart a course for success in the future. I think the company is just trying to stay alive at the moment.
