A company on the decline
Senior Software Engineering Manager • Current Employee
Hillsboro, Oregon, United States
March 29, 2017
Pros: Some of the best people I've worked with are at this company.
It is large enough that you can find a career that interests you almost anywhere.
Cons: Not a place to go if you want to grow or innovate.
If you want to occupy a chair for 30 years and then retire, this could be your dream job.
Employees are largely forbidden from using industry standard solutions (even if they are better than homegrown ones).
Working at Intel is now considered a "black mark" on resumes (especially for software people).
