Reasonable, but steadily declining since AMD bought out ATI

Project manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They are continually releasing state of the art graphics products, which are very interesting to work on. Potential exposure to both hardware and software development.

Cons

Since AMD bought out ATI, the state of affairs in the Markham office has been slowly but steadily degrading. All senior management is based in the US, and there is zero loyalty or even respect for what the Canadian operation brings to the table.
