Pros
2nd big in CPU and 2nd big in GPU business, Cross platform Arch IP owners. An excellent graphics technlogy. A matured technology company. Compensations are comparable and in par with industry.
Cons
Highly unstable business and highly unstable organizations. A frequent changes in leadership from CEO to bottom engineers. But hardly any changes to the flaws and incorrect executive decisions. While large Corps are matured to leverage high value geo sites for economical execution, AMD has been far behind and failed to utilize high value Geos like India, China and Russia. Lot of executive level ego and preferences compromised several offshore decisions and failed to utilize potential value from India and Chine organizations. A complete failure of top Technical staff in forecasting technology market, performance values and analyze competition. AMD is struggling trying to mimic what Intel does and fails all the time. Technical and road map decisions made based on competition and not on what it is good at to deliver.
