Pros

A good benefit package compared to other companies. Everyone is treated well at the end of the day on my team.

Cons

If you are on a "bad team," life can be rough at Intel. There is a lot of backstabbing and inflated egos, especially around "focal" time.

In most areas, there is a lot of pressure to perform. Despite intra-Intel propaganda, informed risk-taking is cause for punishment when it fails, but rarely rewarded when it succeeds.

Advice to Management

Understand risk.

Don't be cowards.

Encourage risk-taking from the bottom up.
