      Excessive inter-office politics; tendency to permanently pigeon-hole engineering staff

      Pros

      Lots of highly-competent and experienced engineers, cutting-edge ASIC technology, acceptable benefits and compensation. Senior management (VP and above) on the technical side really know their stuff. If you can cut through the politics and some big egos to find your niche, you can really do quite well.

      Cons

      Inter-office politics really kill employee enthusiasm. Two sites in particular are constantly fighting for supremacy (including promotions, technical responsibilities, and general recognition), and the other sites are simply along for the ride. Compensation is merely acceptable, not great. Recent trend is to add managers, rather than engineers. Management below VP level on technical side is really hit or miss. Engineers with too-specific a skill set can get stuck in a rut.

      Many people at AMD are pleasant and smart to work with. There are a lot of great jobs here.

      Pros

      Smart co-workers. Excellent first line managers. Work environment encourages collaboration.

      Cons

      Mid Level and executive managers do not know how to lead. They play politics more than they look at true customer and business needs. Few managers are mature enough to have 'remote' employees. Makes for a very secular group that can be hired. Managers need more than sensitivity training. they need to learn how to groom and lead and inspire. There is not management training here. Too many egos create sales prevention issues.

      AMD - A place to work, a place to grow with

      Pros

      Amount of code written in AMD is getting bigger everyday, and there are a lot tasks for a software engineer perspective in terms of versioning, testing, code quality, etc. One can gain a lot of experience in such a big company with a reasonable pace rather than a start-up company madness.

      Cons

      For the last 2 years, there has been a lot churn (in and out) which makes hard to form a team.
