Intel

Opportunity to work on projects with some serious scale. When Intel decides to move in a particular direction, it's a juggernaut. Stable company, good salary.

Political, bureaucratic, meetings, and processes valued above all else. The review process leads to backstabbing and internecine warfare. A ludicrous focus on placing junior people in jobs they aren't qualified to do. Very small scope for a genuine long-term technical career; the attitude is to move 'up' to management/architecture or move out if the company.

Get rid of 90% of the management, whose sole function appears to be making themselves look good in time for [focal point/review] and finding one or two scapegoats to fit the distribution curve of "improvement required". Also, the world is not IA [Intel Architecture]; start making ARM processors for embedded and mobile, or end up like IBM. The world doesn't want Atom in tablets and mobile. Hello?
