Pros

AMD has some of the smartest engineers around. Also some of the best silicon designers.

Cons

Unfortunately management is rotten from top down. A lot of misplaced priorities and lack of consultation with the people that actually understand the underlying technology. The company also has a culture of rewarding people who cause problems and overlooking those that actually solves them

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
