Pros
  • Strong challenges for technologists. You will be working at a high level and with advanced technologies.
  • A decent corporate culture, depending on local management.
  • The most recent CEO was a step above the previous one.
Cons

Market position, contractual obligations, poor product execution, and senior management turnover make AMD's long-term survival an iffy proposition.

A layoff a year for the past four years.

Advice to Management

Under-commit and over-deliver. Don't believe those who tell you that complex projects can be delivered in under a year.
