Pros

This is definitely a great company to work for. Very innovative and on the bleeding edge of technology. One could learn a lot from working here.

Cons

The company makes some strange business decisions. It has to cut the workforce frequently because of such decisions. AMD doesn't seem too keen on innovation, just following in the footsteps of others.

Advice to Management

Management needs to go out to more shows and conferences to gain an understanding of consumer needs. Management should also foster ideas generated from the engineering team, instead of only marketing-driven requirements.
