Pros

Intel has been around a long time and pioneered many great technologies. Not too long ago, they were touting all their achievements, not only in what they make, but how they treat their employees and the workplace culture.

When I started, things were great; the best company I had worked for yet.

Cons

Intel is in a hard place right now. In the same way that viruses or small animals evolve and overcome by multiplying quickly en masse, TSMC evolved quickly by making many unsubstantial chips for their customers, while Intel continued to make their old-fashioned large and powerful chips for PCs. The devices that were once considered unsubstantial are now practical replacements for PCs, and Intel is having to do a course correction to catch the market trend.

Advice to Management

Push foundry all the way, get cell phone chips out there, cell phone AI hardware and software.

Innovate new software/hardware stack to push further in the direction of market trends and leverage our businesses.
