Not a long term play...

Pros

GPU technology still has a chance to be relevant, there are still some smart people left there that could make a difference longer term. Game console wins should drive business for a few years.

Cons

CPU technology is too far behind Intel, can't sell it with enough margin to make a difference. Layoffs have become an annual thing every fall. In the last round of layoffs, they targeted mid-management, so after getting rewarded for good work with promotions, they got laid off. A lot of managers with many years of people management experience were replaced with managers with zero people management experiences, so morale is very low. Company looking to ARM to save them, but not too many companies other than Apple, Qualcom, and Samsung making money there.

Pros

Excellent, empowering and merit-oriented culture. People with knowledge, enthusiasm and ability to contribute are highly valued and rewarded. A great place to learn and exercise your engineering skills.

Cons

Products and underlying technologies aren't competitive. Poor sales and weak profit margins cause underfunding of R&D projects, perpetual competitiveness challenges and continuous staff reductions.
