Pros

The engineering talent is fantastic. Lots of smart people here. There's a lot of cutting edge technology still at AMD, so you're still working on products that have never existed before. Although some compensation perks have faded out (ESPP, sabbatical program), compensation is still pretty good.

Cons

Lots of upper management changes in the last few years has resulted in constantly shifting priorities, processes, ad roadmaps. You never quite feel in a place of stability. It's introduced a lot of politics as middle management tries to figure out how to please upper managers.
