Pros

Lots of very great teams here. From a technical standpoint, there is a lot to learn from the people here. If you work hard and don't ask a lot of questions, this is a great place with good pay.

Cons

Job security is an issue with layoffs happening every 6 months. A lot of middle management is actually promoted from tech backgrounds so their mgmt skills are virtually non-existent. This create interesting team dynamics and lets internal politics to run rampant in most teams and also within the company as a whole. AMD itself needs to change its image and start marketing itself.

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.
