Pros

It was a great work Environment and they had a wonderful office culture that made you actually feel apart of the company. This is also one of the very few companies where I had a chance to actually talk to the CEO...in person! Anything you need or want for you to do your job will be given to you (within reason). Management is just around to corner and if your not an expert in one area just reach out and ask.

Cons

Cubicles are a mood killer but they try hard to make up for it!

Pros

Best work/life balance of any tech company I've worked for. Challenges employees to get better and stay current in the field. Great communication about direction of the company and personal career path and goals.

Cons

Salary and benefits have been lagging behind competition for a while. OpEx focus causes some areas to be chronically understaffed.

Pros

AMD has been in a lot of turmoil over the past few years, but it feels like it's turning around. Especially if you are in the RTG side (graphics), AMD can be a great place to work, especially with a good direct manager. Raja Koduri has proven to be a great leader and has accomplished a lot to turn around the culture and "vibe" within the company. There are plenty of opportunities to make an impact, especially at this point in time. This is pretty rare for a company of this size and age.

Cons

IT at this company has been getting a lot of attention, but doesn't seem to be improving. They continually prove to be far better at creating obstacles instead of solutions. It's easily the #1 complaint of both new employees and veterans at AMD. I am surprised that the top executives and management of infrastructure and IT have survived this long.
