Pros

Intel bonuses, if they continue giving them at the same rate, put total comp well above their peers.

Cons

Working conditions are truly abysmal. They just went to even smaller cubes in Hillsboro (Jones Farm campus).

Sr. Managers spend 90% of their time trying to manage their hierarchy of reports.

HR, payroll, and IT are woefully out of date.

Huge bureaucracy and overlapping job responsibilities even after their recent layoffs.

Too many people running around doing nothing, especially those that have been there for more than 10 years.

Middling benefits

Advice to Management

Become a contract manufacturer.

Give up on everything else.
