Pros

The chance to work on some of the most advanced process and design technologies, very interesting prospects for APU, GPU, fusion products could make the next few years very exciting.

Cons

Long hours, very poor coordination between product, design, and test groups. Lack of ownership of unexpected problems leads to wasted effort, inefficient processes. The unexpected problems should be very expected, senior management doesn't appear to understand the negative impact of supporting such a diverse set of products with the same number of engineers that used to support a single product line. (Two fusion products, one dedicated CPU product, multiple GPU products, multiple foundries, new process development, new package development, etc.) Not enough people to go around, so most people end up doing too many different things at the same time, which leads to a questionable level of quality.
