Business Outlook

Pros

Relaxed atmosphere, great people to work with, good work/life balance. The people here are great and do not berate you. Vacation time is ample and plus you can always work from home, which is a great way to get work done without being bothered.

Cons

No bonuses or raises since 2006! Senior executives need figure a good business plan so AMD can make some money. AMD's primary competitor is Intel and from I can see so far from the salary ratings, I am being underpaid as a senior design engineer. The main reason for this is probably that AMD is lost billions last year (2007) and so probably did not have any money for raises.
