Intel

They don't mistreat you.

You will learn a lot.

They have a kudos program where you can be thanked by a coworker, and you get money that the coworker didn't have to give you.

401(k) matching and SPP is pretty nice!

They give you learning subscriptions like Pluralsight, LinkedIn, and O'Reilly.

Work/life balance is really good here due to bonding leave and sabbatical.

They don't appreciate you at a corporate level.

Promotions are few and far between.

Raises are mediocre, generally 1-3%.

When you own something here, you own it for life.

There is very little room to grow, and you are likely to stagnate because of the large corporate environment.

Back up your values with money. Be sure to show fiscal appreciation to people who align with the company values.

Don't let people stagnate in pay grade, especially as you see their value to the company. Be sure to listen to the first-line managers when determining promotions and raises. Nobody knows the contributor and their contributions better than their manager.
