Pros

Good health insurance. Between vacation, floating holidays, and personal absence time, the time off is better than most companies if you are not exempt.

Cons

It used to be a great place to work. Now, it is just another big tech company whose employees are just numbers. They have whittled the perks down to nothing, saying it is industry standard. If you want to have the best talent, shouldn't you offer more than standard?

The 401k used to be a SERP of 12% with no employee contribution required. Then it was 10%, then 8%, then 6% to a 401k match of 5%. Now, the match has dropped to 2%. This is just the tip of the iceberg for many other lost incentives.

Advice to Management

Instead of spending so much time trying to figure out how to be inclusive to everyone and promoting LGBTQ, race, religion, or creed, and how Intel is so inclusive, how about taking care of your people instead.

Why is a company so worried about who made the product instead of if it is the best product?

Makes sense now that financially Intel is in trouble this year.
