Intel

Total compensation is great – if you can get in at a favorable job grade.

Annual bonus, quarterly bonus.

Equity is a roller coaster, but RSUs, unlike options, are always worth something.

Benefits are equal to or better than most companies these days.

Getting a job grade promotion is not easy or fast. IT is painful, driven by spite rather than employee enablement.

Standard monitor and laptop allocation is a trip back to 2002. Intel is so in bed with Microsoft that they make it difficult to use anything but Microsoft Windows, regardless of whether you need it to do your job effectively. If you need to use things like shells and terminals, your department can buy you a Mac, but IT will not.

IT support is offshored, so most people live with broken things rather than sink time trying to get fixes.

Chat is via Teams & actively discouraged. Primary means of communication is, believe it or not, email and meeting after meeting after meeting.

Move past your sour grapes and set people up with what they need to work productively, including a monitor that is better than 1080p.

There are multiple reasons why competitors continue to eat Intel's lunch. These competitors empower employees and don't constrain them to just three metro areas in the United States.
