Pros

Decent total compensation (base, bonuses, benefits). Lots of very smart people working there. Excellent work/life balance, if you want it.

Cons

The company is struggling to increase profits as demand and ASP drop.

A lot of uncertainty about the annual review process has made the environment toxic at times.

If you want anything more than just a "successful" rating, you need to consistently give 110%, which usually means a poor work/life balance.

Advice to Management

It doesn't feel like Intel is a career company anymore, what with the regular changes to layoff/VSP criteria.
