Pros

Intel pays well and the benefits are good.

It's also a very large company with lots of different jobs and many campuses to choose from, from New Mexico to Cali to Oregon.

Cons

Most jobs require more education than is truly needed. Half of my time at Intel, a chimp could have been trained to do my job, if it weren't for the cleanroom environment.

Management treats lower employees like they are meaningless and have no value, even though the managers appear to do very little.

Everyone is scared for their jobs now, and no one is happy it seems in any position, at least any of the ones that I converse with.

Advice to Management

Management really doesn't seem to have much of a future here. It seems like they are only there to review the underlings and pick and choose who to fire. It's not what you know; it's who you know.
