Pros

My opinion is that this is no longer a sustainable business and therefore there are no pros to present. Bankruptcy is not a matter of if, but when.

Cons

Senior leadership at AMD is severely lacking. Decisions are not made in a fashion intended to build a sustainable business, but rather to appease the Wallstreet analysts. Little if any input is sought from those employees who know 'root cause' of problems, and when employees bring issues to management they are ignored.

Pros

- Great team of people who genuinely care about the company and customers. - A set of products in the client and graphics space that are "good enough" for everyday use - A good salary and compensation package in my region - Decent work life balance

Cons

- Only ONE OEM in the commercial client space. They use and abuse this position as they see fit. Their sales force does not understand how to position AMD based products to their clients and so it becomes really hard to break that mental barrier. - Disconnect between the Graphics and CPU teams is a major barrier. - Server products are nowhere to be seen in the last 3 years. Lets hope that the Zen core products will actually deliver but I suspect that it may be too little and too late. - AMD is milking the goodwill that the buying public have and there is only a finite amount of that. Better products and marketing are the first in a long list of things that they need to do. - The 700lb CPU Gorilla in Blue and its Graphics sibling in Green mean that AMD has its product development spread too thin to win any significant market share. - The PC market is slowly declining. This makes it really difficult to see where AMD will win in this space especially with the above mentioned gorillas.
