      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Started as the Manufacturing department of AMD this foundry has world class technology (i.e. 32nm already in mass production) The company is growing and is investing billions of dollars in new infrastructure tools technologies and employees on many sites around the world There are (still) many well trained and motivated Employees

      Cons

      Esp. after the merger with Charted, a very bad working style emerged. - The management style went to a nearly army-like style of command and obedience. - Long and tedious escalation procedures to very high management levels for even the smallest things. - The lack of realism. Even if Data already shows that a target is impossible, it will not adjusted (or if only to set it higher to recover from the impossibility - Work Life Balance is very bad. Long working days, on weekends work from home is expected. The Global Orientation of the company sounds good, but many inter-cultural problems arise from that fact. My personal feeling is that the Singapore culture is transferred to the German and US-parts of the company .
