Pros

There is lot of challenging and interesting work that you can find in AMD. You can also get an opportunity to work with other leading companies in different related industries. Work culture is good, flexible timings, option to work remotely. Think about it this way, if you land a good position in a good group your work can directly impact mainstream hardware and software industry.

Cons

Work culture, compensation, opportunity to grow can highly depend on the group that you work for. Below average compensation for Software professionals.

A great place to work if you were there during the good years, otherwise accept a demotion if you plan on joining now.

Pros

Virtually all engineering documents, roadmaps, bug databases, etc are available to the ordinary engineer.

Cons

Pay is not connected to technical contribution. No performance review. AMD is weak in software areas. Engineers with zero years of coding experience often make technical decisions about a coding project. The blind lead the blind.

Great work-life balance. Great time to join if you believe the stock will go back up one day.

Pros

Flexible work hours. Managers don't normally keep track of work hours or ask you to be physically in the office all the time. Good work-life balance. Work days and work hours are flexible as long as the hours are about right. I have never been rejected on my vacation requests either. (Of course I don't purposely take days off during the busy time)

Cons

AMD is burning cash and not making enough revenue to cover the costs. Lay offs are depressing. Stock going down is depressing. I came from ATI. One of the first thing AMD senior managements promised in 2006 when they aquired ATI was to continue the quarterly all-hand meetings. They failed on the very first quarter after the merger. There hasn't been enough visibility of what's going on besides your own team.
