Pros

A very competitive and challenging environment, you have to be creative and somewhat of a risk taker. The people at the company genuinely care and take care of their customers. AMD is customer focused and friendly. They actually listen to what the customers want and provide the product and services needed. AMD's products may not always be the top performer but they always provide the best value to performance that most people are looking for in these tough economic times. The low power initiative is one of the better programs that AMD has to offer. They also have the ability to create complete platforms which our competitors can't do.

Cons

The lack of money and challenge in being profitable makes it a difficult environment. There are many great marketing programs and products that aren't launched because of a lack of funding so it is canceled. The most disappointing feeling is to work hard on any given project only to find that it's canceled. Even when your project makes it through the chopping block, the overall support behind it is not what you had hoped. Post launch, the momentum behind your product launch fades quickly as AMD is focused on the next big thing. We sometimes don't see the full sales benefit because of this.
