Pros

Love the Austin Area Some very smart people to work with In 2 duopolies (x86 + PC graphics) should yield lots of opportunities

Cons

Management by be-rating is common (the beatings will continue until morale improves) Failed to be credible 2nd source to Intel in x86. Why would being a 2nd source in ARM help ? Challenges with process and yields renders many plans moot

Pros

-Still some very cool technology despite the low morale and sub-optimal methodologies in place. -Very smart engineers. -Can still compete with Intel despite the situation that the company is in.

Cons

-Mercenary executives with basically no work history at AMD or no emotional ties to the company. -Horrible stack ranking & review process. -No bonuses. -No technical training. -No stability. Multiple rounds of layoffs every year. Don't keep too many personal items in your cubicle, limit them to what you can pack in a "standard AMD layoff box", approx. 25x20x16 in. You will thank me if they eventually come for you. -More than half of the engineers are of Indian or Chinese origin (myself included), but literally NONE of the technical management is. Draw your own judgement. If you're a foreign-born engineer, don't expect career advancement here.

Pros

Culture, pay is competitive, great benefits, great co-workers- There are opportunities for advancement- I appreciate the casual nature of the workplace- the flexibility in work from home is nice as well.

Cons

life balance is tough, industry swings are difficult, work loads tend to be too much at times... the senior management team has mostly turned over in the last year or so (a sign of the difficulties in the industry as well as new CEO), decisions in the organization should be made quicker and more decisively.
