Pros

The only pro is that you will be surrounded by and may get to work on leading edge technologies. If your only passion in life is computers, this may be the company for you.

Cons

Long hours, no overtime pay, blatant sexism and favoritism, yearly layoffs. Power struggles between the CPU and GPU (former ATI) divisions. Very difficult to get ahead in this company since it is in such a competitive industry and struggling to survive. Management don't want you to move forward, because they are stuck in their positions...some of them just sit there playing computer games all day, waiting for there package. Borrowing this from a September 4, 2012 review... "Psychopaths who cannot manage their emotions and don't know how to behave in professional environments. Everyone will try to assert what little authority they have over you." Read the September 4th review...very accurate.
