Pros

Lots of interesting technical work at AMD, individuals can definitely make a difference to whatever project they're on. (It's not a small company, but it's not too big that individuals can't matter.) Flexible work schedules (working at home is common and encouraged), and good workers - smart and easy to work with.

Cons

Losing money quarter after quarter isn't exactly a morale booster. Career development isn't a priority (and in many parts of the company it's non-existent). Project planning and selection seems haphazard and more reactive than proactive, which can cause frequent project churn and frustration.

Pros

This particular office is an amazing work environment. I am constantly challenged and learn new skills daily. The talent here is also second to none. I am humbled to work with these people.

Cons

Job security is unstable. Never know when another mass layoff is going to happen.

Pros

Technology is good - more energetic work seen at the engineering point. The interaction between various engineering teams is great. Lot of learning could be obtained from this. Lot of technical experience lies in there.

Cons

Senior Management is pathetic in the company. Many technical details are lost in the management mayhem. Being an underdog and trying to compete with a gorilla and without much money in the kitty screws the company big time. Product realization and analysis of the market place is very bad that it kills the enthusiasm of the engineers. There is no work life balance.
