Pros

Some interesting work is available if you are in the right place. The best part of the job is the quality of the work. If AMD wins the law suit against Intel, things might get better.

Cons

Salaries increases have been frozen. No bonuses since merger with ATI. But, senior management is still giving themselves stock options. AMD really dug a deep hole when they went into debt and bought ATI. Major outsourcing to China and India--this makes it hard to move up the career ladder if you are in the US. The recent 10% layoffs were not communicated by management very well.

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
