Pros

Open and collaborative atmosphere.

Access to senior executives in open forums.

Opportunity to collaborate with quality hardware, software, and manufacturing folks to influence the direction of computing globally.

Opportunity for both broad technical engagement or deep dive, depending on the interest of the individual.

Cons

Corporation no longer encourages virtual/remote collaboration, odd since Intel helped enable this capability. Teams are expected to co-locate to core Intel sites or risk termination. Working remotely or from home used to be considered a work-life balance perk, but no more. Non-chip design salaries are a bit below industry standards.

Advice to Management

Recent corporate realignments and consolidations appeared very inconsiderate of the general workforce (forced separations and relocations), while executive bonuses skyrocketed.

Stock is up. It looks like this behavior is rewarded. Perhaps this is the renewed norm.
