Pros: Managers are really flexible in terms of work hours. "Benefits" and recognitions can vary greatly depending on the project you are working on. Lots of opportunities to go on business trips, which are as good as paid vacation at AMD if you are lucky enough to work on an important project.

Cons: The criteria and standards for performance and achievement ratings are a joke.

Pros: Work on cutting-edge technology; can make a significant contribution to the company. The manager has technical skills and is very supportive of the team.

Cons: Compensation is not competitive; we need to revisit the pay structure. We may also broaden our product line and invest more in new areas.

Pros: AMD permits a better work/life balance than many other companies.

Cons: Executive management does not look out for the employees' best interests. They are more concerned about creating new companies than the employees' well-being. We are constantly under the gun for layoffs and have not shown a profit in two years. Morale is awful right now, and jobs are being outsourced overseas. I used to love coming to work here, but morale has gotten worse and worse over the years.
