Pros

People in AMD are downright good hearted people with brilliant minds. I never ever felt I have to always watch my back. I had not met a Micro Manager here. Takes forever to hire (I've put in so many long hours) but they know to hire those who they can trust. Very flexible so long am at work at 10am. I have to take kids to day care. Mgt understands parent duties very strongly. Management encourages use of vacation/time off.

Cons

Promotions take forever. You know other companies are always eyeing AMD people so one's always fighting the thought of moving or staying. Constant change in leadership

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.
