      Pros

      Used to be a nice place to work (until 2008) with good spirit and interesting work.

      Cons

      Too many layoffs. Too many promises not kept by management. Unrealistic business goals. Too much bureaucracy.

      Pros

      Some very talented and intelligent engineers that were great to work with

      Cons

      Management completely screwed up with constant thrashing of projects and no clear direction that they are taking the company, if they continue this way they will not survive. Hire and fire mindset, fire employees to make the financials look good then months later hiring again. Very shady, I know of a woman that was on maternity leave and was laid off.

      You can't make money when your products continue being late to the market.

      Pros

      When AMD is focused on a program, funding is always available to support it. If you need resources to complete a program, they are generally made available. If you are interested in learning everything there is to know about semiconductors, software development, and computer architecture, AMD provides you with more than enough opportunity.

      Cons

      Layoff after layoff for the last 6 years. Staff reductions are typically 10 - 15% each year. Awards and promotions are typically reserved for Management level and above. It's almost impossible to advance out of a technician position and if you do, it takes at least 10 years. Management does not interact with employees outside of their individual groups and they are always trying to protect their positions - often at the expense of their subordinates.
