Business Outlook
Pros
While not perfect, AMD - for the most part - respects its employees and has a positive corporate culture. It's the anti-Dell. At almost nine years there, I feel that good work gets rewarded and non-performers eventually get weeded out. But there are exceptions to these rules.
Cons
There is a ceiling of success that AMD can never seem to exceed. Intel essentially has us under their thumb, similar to a puppet-master over his puppet. They never want us to go away because they would encounter so much more scrutiny from the government, but they want us to bleed untl we're on life support - only to let him enough for us to stay alive.
