Pros

Intel is a great place to work and allows lateral movement within the company.

Risk-taking is very decently promoted and valued, allowing individuals to gain exposure and experience in multiple areas.

The company does a lot for the community; volunteer and fund-raiser works are well supported.

Flexible work hours, telecommuting, vacations, and leave of absence for personal reasons are all well supported.

Senior engineering staff is among the most talented bunch of folks in the industry.

Cons

Too large a company makes it bureaucratic. Promotions and performance appraisals get lost in the process. Being a large company, the decision-making process also slows down.

Advice to Management

The bottom-up "bubble" of Intel employees, from lower to upper grade levels, should be encouraged.
