How many managers does it take to bring down a company?

Business Outlook

Pros

9 to 5 hours; You don't actually have to do real work to get ahead, all you have to do is suck up to management and just keep nodding; Decent pay package. There is a decent gym. You will be working on really complicated designs. If you are self-motivated, you will learn a lot about x86 design.

Cons

No career advancement available. The ship is sinking quickly due to the incompetency of management. All the smart people have left the company within the past 2 years. The few bright people that have stayed behind are only there to wait for the green cards.

Pros

Very laid back atmosphere. Noone cares how much time you're at the office so long as you just get your stuff done. AMD doesn't promote hyper competitveness and back stabbing among employees like Intel. No politics, people are great and treat each other with lots of respect.

Cons

Company keeps cutting benefits. No bonuses any more. Just salary. Sabbatical gone, ESPP gone...

AMD a waste of engineering resources

Business Outlook

Pros

There are a lot of smart engineers working at AMD that, given the proper chance, can do great things with limited resources. The work environment is fairly relaxed and flexible.

Cons

Incompetent executives, lack of corporate direction, canceled important projects, removal of benefits, poor health plan (UHC), no bonuses or pay raises.
