Pros

Intel is a fast-paced and aggressive environment, which provides opportunity for the brightest to excel. There is plenty of opportunity to learn and grow.

Cons

Finding work-life balance can be difficult, especially for mid-level management and engineers. During ramp activities, expect to work at least 60 hours a week and be on call for months on end.

Advice to Management

As the workdays grow longer and budgets tighter, remember the roots of Intel, where it was a corporate value to have fun.

As the "perks" of working at Intel have diminished, so has the loyalty of many.
