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.

Pros

Being involved with leading edge technologies. It was always fun to work with things that "didn't exist yet".

Cons

The constant instability; when things are going well you can always assume it will turn around. There was not much consistency in the overall roadmap and changes came late in projects. Also, the marketing names did not match up with the internal codenames which did not match the silicon designers' names so you had to know 3 sets of names depending on the audience. That got frustrating after awhile. Also, the culture of secret management was a turn-off. There was a lot of information that could not be disseminated down to the engineers, who often ended up doing work that the could have avoided with some information that was available but not passed on.
