AMD – “The Velvet Rut”

Pros

People are friendly, smart, and laid back. Most people arrive sometime before 9am, leave before 5pm. Working from home is an option for most. The work is fun, demanding and sometimes rewarding

Cons

Dismal economic standing, limited promotions within, lots of management changes. Lots of good people laid off has meant that a lot of work has been left undone over the last year. Many of these holes have been unfilled, meaning that required stuff just doesn't get done.

Advice to Senior Management

You need to start promoting & rewarding.
