Pros

Cutting edge graphics technology and know-how, friendly environment, lots to learn and ways to advance skill set required. Hardware is designed by guys who understand the future of gpu computing for a change.

Cons

Financial concerns are pulling the team spirit down and also high talent -as I did- is leaving the company. As a result all ESPP and stock bonuses meant nothing after few years.

Pros

- Learn lot of cutting edge CPU/GPU knowledge and how to deal with politics. - Learn and get away unless you are bosom friend of your boss. You will get bulletproof vest exempt from layoff.

Cons

- Very political and nepotism. Hiring and promotion only for their dull and unqualified old buddies. Work hard doesn't mean have chance to get reward or promotion, but reciprocated by layoff. - Low level developers are undervalued and overworked. Managers and old timers are relax, slow, unproductive and WFH. Perfect work-life balance and fat salary for them. Top notch favoritism. Shameless mouth-blabbering wins over dedicated and skilled hard workers. - Almost two years turmoil, but it won't stop. Upper management cuts many x86 projects and treats employee like COST and DIRT, middle management only care about their job aggressively throw their resources under the bus to cover their ass. Later on, they have to hire engineers back to run projects. This stupid "AMD routine" never saved cost and defer product launch schedule. - Now this is a place for mouth-blabbers, smart-talkers and shameless butt-kissers. Not a place for skilled and honest folks to invent exciting products.
