Pros

*Work/life balance is great. *Do not have to be creative as you can let Intel do the marketing for you. *Before Hector, a fun family environment to work in *Intel is hated by so many of it's customers, they run to you for help and pray AMD never goes away *Despite a very incompetent egocentric dysfunctional executive team, somehow, you'll like working with your colleagues - not so much inter-team fighting

Cons

*Lack of a sane vision (fusion is not sane) *Political infighting is unparalleled *To heavily focused in Austin. The Austin talent pool has long been tapped out *Most AMDers who work in Austin hate technology and treat it like a 9-5 government job, and forget everything at 4:58pm *It still has so many open bleeding sores from the Hector years, we wondering if she'll live *The CEO doesn't like to travel and feels uncomfortable in front of customers *Intel owns the x86 license and will always no exactly how many processors you sell *If Intel couldn't convince people to change their software for Itanium, what makes AMD think they customers will change their software for their "fusion"initiative

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
