Pros

There's some amazing technical work being done at AMD I feel proud going to Best Buy and seeing our parts for sale in desktops and laptops. Right now, I'm writing this review on a processor I helped design.

Cons

AMD has grown way too quickly since the sucess of the K8/AMD64 parts. The sites have grown in number, resulting in fractured leadership and power struggles between the sites. After being at AMD when it was much smaller, it's hard to adjust to the large company dynamics of today.
