Business Outlook

Pros

People at AMD and work environment is great. Collaboration is great. If you are starting your career you get a chance to work on real challenging projects due to resource constraints esp. in R&D.

Cons

AMD has been losing money. Hence all incentives get curtailed inspite of excellent performance reviews. So financially the job may not be rewarding.

Pros

- Great co-workers who are highly competent - Outstanding execution when designers are properly enabled - Fantastic opportunities for learning about design from technical leaders - Flexible work schedule as long as you get your work done

Cons

- Cost-cutting measures aimed at CAD tools at critical times during the project that don't make sense - Disorganization in schedules between different groups that work on the same IC - Competition between groups that work on the same IC - Can become pigeon-holed into a role that you are really good at

Business Outlook

Pros

If you know what you are doing you will do well. Benefits are above average. Profit Sharing is nice when it's available. Pay is above normal for high achievers. Flex work, relaxed atmosphere (like more silcon valley companies)

Cons

Usually means longer hours necessary Unsteady company finances means ups and downs regular in a couple years time It's a perenial underdog (this is usally a plus for those working there)
