Waves of hope and disappointment

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly co-workers, interesting problems, usually feels like there is hope of surpassing intel with each project.

Cons

Stack ranking is a horrible review system, the stories I have read about Microsoft stack ranking sound very similar to my experience at AMD.

Lots of mediocrity and little reward

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are some good engineers here, the working environment is comfortable enough, the technology is interesting. Working hours can be flexible, although in my experience you will pay for trying to take advantage of that in the long run because you are not building up your appearance of being a "hard worker".

Cons

Lots of political games for advancement, management is poor from the lower levels to the upper, with only a few exceptions, pay and other rewards are low for the industry though management will constantly tell you otherwise.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work on some great technology and innovations. Very good teams with intelligent people. Everyone is respectful and great to work with.

Cons

Always the underdog. Despite cutting edge technology, we've been behind the competitors financially, and that makes things worse. The outcome of your effort and investment hasn't always been what it ought to be.
