Good company with a lot of history but in a tough bind.

Pros

- Strong challenges for technologists. You will be working at a high level and with advanced technologies. - A decent corporate culture, depending on local management. - Most recent CEO a step above the previous one.

Cons

- Market position, contractual obligations, poor product execution and senior management turnover make AMD's long-term survival an iffy proposition - A layoff a year for the past four years.

A lot of potential with limited ability to execute

Pros

Great opportunities (one of 2 companies with an x86 license, one of 2 companies providing graphics for the PC / Laptop industry and the only company designing both ARM and x86 devices. They are the only company providing graphics for the latest generation game consoles. Overall, AMD should be able to turn this into money.

Cons

Excessive debt from the ATI acquisition limits the companies ability to invest. Indecisive leadership (e.g. how to capitalize on their positions) makes them ineffective Lack of a cohesive strategy spreads thin resources too far Lack of growth opportunities combined with regular layoffs creates an atmosphere of fear instead of informed risk taking
