Pros: A very diverse and talented crowd. Great opportunities to work on cutting-edge stuff.

Cons: 1. I've been working for 10 years and started when the salary scale was lower. Now I have peers and lower-grade people entering from other companies and earning way more than me. The increments every year don't do enough to raise the base pay to what the market pays. Even though HR claims they equalize to the market, I happen to be just above the minimum bar and I don't get flagged in such checks. It hurts to work really hard to be paid far worse than your peers. I'll probably quit the company eventually just for this reason. 2. Extremely bureaucratic. Every little thing goes through an enormous amount of process, slowing things down. I've spent several weeks just writing documents and PowerPoint to get approval for work that takes 2-3 days. At this rate, Intel can never catch up with the current fast-moving world.

Pros: The benefits are really good.

Cons: Too big of a company - hard to see impact.

Pros: Very welcoming workplace, especially for juniors.

Cons: Big Corp: What it means...
