AMD Anonymous in Sunnyvale, CA:   (Current Employee)

Pros

1. Incredibly smart, hardworking people
2. Strong graphics product lineup
3. (Moslty) challenging and interesting work
4. Dedication to employee career growth

Cons

1. Weak CPU products
2. Attempts to do too many things at once resulting in cancellations and roadmap changes
3. Too cash starved to invest in future technologies and initiatives
4. Time to market of CPU products is too long
5. Losing money for 3 years in a row is crushing morale

Advice to Senior Management

1. Focus on core competencies - do fewer things, but do them exceedingly well
2. Continue to cut the cruft: layoff or redeploy resources that are providing little value or are unnecessary overhead
3. Make a profit!
