Pros

Good benefits and facilities (fitness center, on-site health center, and vision center).

Co-workers are smart and dedicated. Intel does have work-life balance listed in its corporate values.

Cons

Poor senior management decisions have led to the decline of Intel's competitive edge.

A black box focal review system.

Recent 2016 layoffs have resulted in poor morale amongst remaining employees and caused a sense of mistrust towards upper management. This is likely to stymie risk-taking, innovation, and reduce worker effectiveness.

Advice to Management

Replace senior management to get better leadership that can make the right business decisions on how Intel invests its resources. Improve the focal system to be more transparent. Lack of transparency was one of the reasons why many felt the recent layoffs were unfair.
