Business Outlook

Pros

AMD - recognized leader in semiconductor industry. Cooperation with all major tools manufacturers. Very talented people working together, high educational level of the employee. High level of expertise in certain areas. Nice working environment, free schedule, ability to work from home, ease of getting vacation time, as long as your work is complete.

Cons

Oversized management, low moral related to pure financial performance. Non-realistic goals resulted in employees over-loading. A lot of useless work. Pure marketing and project management. No effort from management to boost moral or actually lead.

Pros

Good liberty on your time and colleagues are usually quite welcoming.

Cons

Management is not really supportive and always try to excuse when mistakes are made by others. They also try to blame you for theirs mistakes. This depends greatly of the team you are in.
