Pros
  1. Decent work-life balance
  2. Flexible work hours.
Cons
  1. Non-competitive salary.

  2. Extremely hard to get stuff done because of the bureaucracy.

  3. Company's current direction is not good. Management is clueless on how to compete with the mounting competition. There's no clear focus on product roadmaps, and management mostly just runs around like headless chickens to protect themselves.

  4. Very little career growth for SW engineers. You will hit a plateau around 1-2 years into Intel.

Advice to Management

Focus on your products instead of bean counting.
