Stressful!

Account manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Benefits, Good Pay At Times

Cons

The work atmosphere was often hostile and disruptive. Hours were long (7am-5pm). Slow economy means low paychecks. Also, if profit wasn't at the expected mark up management would turn down business thus negatively effecting employee pay.

Pros

They provide good flexible working when needed. They give a one-off 4 week 'sabbatical' lump of extra vacation time for every four years of service. If you are driven enough and have the correct people skills to fit the company, you can affect change or carve out your own roles to some extent.

Cons

Marketing driven, with input from a select few. Bulk of engineering team can be treated like children by marketing - "do what you are told and don't ask questions you don't know anything about." Often runs with minimal resource on projects. People's roles are weakly defined so you can get good and bad projects depending on your co-workers.

There is not much downside expect that if you want to not work in the field of computer architecture. Otherwise work is good and people are responsive.
