Business Outlook

Pros

The technical challenge of the work makes it very interesting for an engineer. While the work is challenging the company is currently at a massively uncompetitive position with respect to their main competitor resulting in the engineers being under extreme pressure to deliver a product that will save the company. Ultimately the engineering team will be the scapegoat for the mismanagement and poor strategic product definition that got them to this position.

Cons

The management at the Sunnyvale facility is destructive. The level of management incompetence is truly remarkable and nepotism is completely out of control.

Pros

9 to 5 hours; You don't actually have to do real work to get ahead, all you have to do is suck up to management and just keep nodding; Decent pay package. There is a decent gym. You will be working on really complicated designs. If you are self-motivated, you will learn a lot about x86 design.

Cons

No career advancement available. The ship is sinking quickly due to the incompetency of management. All the smart people have left the company within the past 2 years. The few bright people that have stayed behind are only there to wait for the green cards.

Pros

Very laid back atmosphere. Noone cares how much time you're at the office so long as you just get your stuff done. AMD doesn't promote hyper competitveness and back stabbing among employees like Intel. No politics, people are great and treat each other with lots of respect.

Cons

Company keeps cutting benefits. No bonuses any more. Just salary. Sabbatical gone, ESPP gone...
