Intel

Pay was excellent, as were the benefits. Having a sabbatical every 4 or 7 years is so great, and the vacation policy is very good, too.

Worked with some outstanding people, and the overall atmosphere (when people aren't getting laid off) is generally positive. Work/life balance in my division/role was also quite good.

Diversity is also excellent at Intel.

Despite risk-taking being a corporate value, it seemed like upper management wasn't very good at it. It was fairly well-practiced at lower levels, though, at least in my department.

Organizational inertia was difficult to overcome when attempting process improvements in certain aspects of the business. Also, too much reliance on internally-created tools makes it difficult to translate experience if you find yourself suddenly forced to look for employment elsewhere.

Find better ways to downsize the workforce than the way y'all did it this time. Terrible.

Also, improving agility is a must.
