Limited career growth. Execs who can't make decisions or be up front with their long-term plans
The money isn't bad, and benefits are pretty good. Lots of great people are still in the engineering workforce, and some parts of Intel function pretty well.
Where to start?
The culture is highly political.
If you work in manufacturing or one of the CPU design teams, you can find an old boys' network to join. Outside of that, you can forget about advancement.
The ranking and rating process used during evaluation is a relic from the 1980s; it rewards throwing others under the bus and disincentivizes teamwork.
Innovation was killed off in the early 2000s and replaced with a series of silos. If you don't color inside your own lines, you're going to be punished.
Messages given to employees are constantly of bad news and impending problems. Employee morale is low, and workers are treated more like cattle than anything else.
Be upfront with the workforce on what your plans are. "Trust us" only works when people... trust you.
