Business Outlook
Pros
AMD makes a positive difference in the world. We are the only competitor to Intel - and without the competition the microprocessor market would be weaker. Microprocessors would be slower, less capable and more expensive.
Cons
AMD is going through tough times (as of mid 2008). We grew very quickly and that growth was managed poorly. AMD has a tradition of hiring executives mainly from outside the company -- which limits the career growth for internal staff. AMD should continue to improve the staff development programs, and should also try to promote from within.
