Pros

There is a lot of room for professional growth if you work hard. The people working at the company are very helpful and supportive.

Also, you get exposed to a lot of problems that you have to resolve in a very time-critical environment. AMD partners tend to go crazy when products aren't working properly.

Cons

Sometimes you might have to pull long shifts because everything tends to break down when the product is about to be released.

Some of the teams tend to come in very late in the morning and work very, very late. This makes it difficult to sometimes coordinate with teams and get your own work done, especially if you are waiting on something from someone that stays late.

Advice to Management

Stop wasting money on the litigation against Intel and spend that money on making new fabs and hiring talented engineers.
