Pros: Trainings do occur once a month or so.

Cons: There are not enough on-site mentors for the interns.

Pros: Company cares about its employees. Lots of employee events, ergonomic standards, and hardware at your disposal. Lots of independence given to engineers. Free gym, coffee, and fruit.

Cons: Promotions can be difficult and are luck-based. Work-life balance can be bad and is luck-based.

Pros: Being such a large, world-wide company, Intel has many opportunities for career changes and exploring new business areas and work locations. Having worked in several different groups, I've always found the general employee population to be bright, affable, and willing to help out when needed. Lastly, Intel is celebrating its 40th year anniversary by encouraging its employees to volunteer in the community. The One Million Hours Volunteered in 2008 initiative truly shows Intel's goodwill in communities around the world.

Cons: Earning promotions to higher paying positions with greater responsibility may take longer than expected due to its long-established ranking and rating system. As a young leader in the company, I've been frustrated by management's lack of attention to new employees who show exceptional ability to make an impact at the company.
