Pros

My manager was very informal. I could try things to see if they were viable.

Flexible hours made for great work/life balance.

Cons

Lack of direction. I get being a hands-off manager, but too much hands-off meant the team wasn't focused on moving in any specific direction.

Plus, I feel that AMD is a hardware company at heart and didn't seem to get software development, nor foster those who did and tried to improve things.

Advice to Management

Pick a goal. Listen to your employees on how to achieve it.
