Pros

AMD is a company based on rewarding performance and anyone who says otherwise was unfortunately managed by a poor individual. This is a company that provides growth opportunity, but you must work for it. That's the key, you have to look for your next promotion, and pursue it with gusto. Otherwise, we are a small company and there is only so much you can expect when the task we have at hand against our competition is enormous.

Cons

Being jerked around by the market despite our ability to perform.

Internal turf wars in recent years with lots of new teams acquired. One new site just had a few cancelled projects; Company acquired not grew its middle management over the last two years. Old timers are leaving.

Pros

Great engineering teams, and opportunity to take on increased responsbilities. Challenging and cutting-edge work, and senior technical staff is usually approachable. Managers usually encourage a good work-life balance, with flexible hours and/or working from home as needed. Compensation is excellent in good times, which unfortunately are few and far between.

Cons

No bonuses or raises in the last couple of years, and several other benefits have been cut. Basic compensation is probably competitive, but with an unstable job and non-performing stock and options, the overall benefit package is really uncompetitive. Also, there isn't enough career training or professional mentoring, and technical staff are not trained to be good managers. As a result, there is a lack of internal management talent. Also, several layoffs and poor product planning in the last couple of years have led to low employee morale.
