A company with a strong set of core values, it's fair and stable. However, it's a bit behind the times

Pros

Intel is a very respectable place to work. The core values are taken seriously. Job stability is very strong, and it is very, very hard to fire someone unless there is good reason.

A lot of talented and knowledgeable engineers work there, and one can learn a lot. It is also a good place to grow career-wise up to a certain point.

Cons

Intel is a bit behind the times when compared to other tech companies in Silicon Valley.

It does not nurture creativity or idea-sharing, and there is a lot of red tape and bureaucracy.

They do hardware extremely well, but still have a long way to go in terms of software development.

Decisions are very, very slow-moving, and the campuses themselves are extremely ugly and lifeless.

Advice to Management

Good upper management and leadership, but there is a lot of red tape.

Encourage ideas and creativity, and get with the times.
