Intel

• High salary with great compensation.
• Almost total freedom outside of working hours.

• Bad career building opportunity. If you are an IT grad with an interest in a specific field, try getting into the field ASAP and gain experience. Don't bother wasting time in this department because what you learn is 95% not applicable outside of Intel (Intel proprietary knowledge, not general knowledge), and you will have to start all over again as a fresh grad if you decide to leave and pursue another field.

• Harsh working schedule. Despite the great salary, the schedule is very rough. Weekly day and night shift rotation is not suitable for most normal human beings. Most people don't join in the first place because of the schedule.

• Workplace is very biased and pretty toxic. If seniors don't like you at first sight, you are just going downhill from that point. Words will spread, and you will be targeted. Don't expect friendly seniors; they will mostly teach you in a rude and harsh manner (sighing, yelling, scolding). They will justify this by saying they went through the same thing (nice working environment, huh?). Not all seniors are like this; there are some really awesome ones as well, but it just happens that my shift is a special one.

Improve the teaching culture. Most people entering this role are fresh grads and know little to nothing at first. There is absolutely no point in being harsh, as this is not the right way to teach. Just be a normal, decent, civilized human and teach properly.
