Pros: Good additional benefits, medium salary, good vacation.

Cons: Not too much salary, low levels, ramp up low.

Pros: Good experience in a worldwide high-tech company. A warm home for students and recent graduates.

Cons: Workload is not equal between all colleagues. Some are not doing their job, and it comes back to you. Not all people are professional as expected from the company on this side.

Pros: A relatively stable workplace. Intel also provides a pretty good work-life balance and allows working from home and taking your vacation when you wish. Career-wise, you can always take a new direction inside the company and start with a brand new job without actually starting over. People are usually very nice and keen to help each other; it is not a very competitive place, in a good way mostly. Additionally, management is accessible – you can talk to anyone. Intel has recently made its move towards servers and IoT, and also released many of its employees. I believe that this was a smart move.

Cons: The work itself felt very disconnected from the end-product, and therefore, motivation was low. Creativity is not encouraged; you do your job, you finish it, and you go home. The job got quite boring after a while. Professionally, it feels like a mess. Software tools are being used while nobody knows where they came from; it is all patched up, and progress is hard to be made. Workflows are usually very unstable. Culture-wise, Intel is a huge corporate which is trying to meet the lowest common denominator. In such a workplace, that would be a too common and boring denominator. The atmosphere at the office is not much fun.
