Good Bonus, Bad Management

Pros

Bonus is good. Its annual performance bonus (APB) and quarterly performance bonus (QBP) are about close to 20% of the annual salary. The "performance" here is Intel's performance, not personal performance. So, everyone gets APB + QPB. For personal performance, there are restricted stock units awarded, which varies.

Cons

Poor management, lots of useless meetings, and politics. Managers have less responsibility as developers work across teams directly all the time. When something goes south, it's hard to find who is responsible.
