Pros

AMD is a big enough company to guarantee some form of job stability. You will not be immune to layoffs or pay cuts but the company itself is likely to be around for many years to come.

Cons

As with all big corporate companies, the most efficient use of its engineering team is to place them into unchanging roles that repeat again and again doing the same tasks.

Pros

My group provided a very positive work environment and there was lots of opportunities to work on various aspects of the projects. I also like the manager I work under and he does a good job of giving me interesting work when the situation allows it. The new site in Austin is very nice to work in with lots of amenities like a cafeteria, gym, basketball courts...etc.

Cons

Due to the recent financial results for AMD, they had to cut back on various things such as merit increases, bonuses, sabbaticals, employee stock purchase plans. It's hard to stay motivated when they also seem to cancel a lot of projects.
