Good company, too many politics
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Jose, California, United States
June 11, 2008
Pros: I think that the growth opportunities, if you really want to achieve a specific level (especially on the technical side), are always possible to get. Sometimes you have to fight with politics and bureaucracy, but if you really want to get something, you have a good opportunity to get it.
Cons: There are a lot of political games because the company tends to compensate individual achievement over the group or division. So everybody is worried and fighting about how to get his/her own successful personal project, no matter if you have to step over a colleague. That is, for me, the worst part of working for Intel.

Software Engineer Internship Experience
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Jose, California, United States
June 27, 2020
Pros: There are many divisions in Intel, such as hardware, firmware, software, machine learning, data science, and many more. Career switching is even possible at Intel.
It offers one of the best intern programs. Many fun activities and events are conducted.
Managers are really approachable and open to discussions. Software work is really good, covering everything from OOPs, algorithms, and data structures.
Cons: 1. Every company has its cons. For Intel, it is their heavy usage of acronyms.
