Pros

- Good pay - Good benefits - A very nice campus in Austin - Used to have a good management team in place - Used to have a lot of good people to work with

Cons

- Changes in Business Models due to upper management changes made it very difficult to stay focused - When new management came in in 2008, they brought in many, many people from their previous company and got rid of the original AMD'ers. This completely changed the culture and made working their not as enjoyable as it once was. - With management changes, IT organization became too top heavy with too many VP's, Directors, and Managers so there were too many people telling people to work and not enough people to do the work.
