Pros
I worked at AMD for many years in 7 different groups. Had the opportunity to work with many great people. AMD allows their employees the freedom to get the job done through flexible schedules and tele-commuting from home. AMD provides many community outreach projects and activities to help promote bonds between employees. A great place to start, then run.
Cons
Incentives such as stock purchase, target bonuses have been reduced or eliminated. Multiple influences from upper management promote mission creep, incomplete projects, and changing product line focus. These type of actions blow schedules, promote employee migration and layoffs.

Given the fact that almost any place in the silicon valley is tough to work these days, it is an average place to work.

Pros
Unlike other processor design company(ies), there is an opportunity to work in a small set of related areas. The tendency to get boxed-in is less probable here -- if there is initiative from the employee. And good work is certainly recognized.
Cons
The management has started a new focus on business objectives with the whole "Vision" thing. But it is unclear how far they will be able to gain against Intel. Yes -- simplifying choices, and designing consumer oriented products is certainly a +ve sign. But your competitor can easily do the same thing if they have a better product.
