Intel

Great benefits, onsite gym/cafe, and free fruit, tea, and soda. Co-workers are great. It's easy to move to other positions. Working cross-departmentally was great.

Lots of managers have no idea of what they are doing, let alone manage people. At least in my group I worked for, all they cared about was the numbers and how to present them so it made them look good. Intel hires people mostly based on their degree. When the new CEO took over, things started to change downhill. The company sold off potential successful groups and kept sticking to its bread and butter: their manufacturing capability. The stock purchase program got cut in half, health plans changed, and bonuses changed.

Upper management needs to really take a good look at how lower management is performing in regards to how knowledgeable they are to the positions they are managing. Bring back the 10% employee stock purchase program.
