Intel

The pay is good. If you are reasonably competent in your area of work and in a group with a good revenue stream, you can pretty much retire in the company if you choose. Work-life balance is also satisfactory.

Growth opportunities are very hard to come by. Intel is a shrinking company in the US, and therefore it is hard to expect vertical career growth unless you are lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

Take career growth very seriously, particularly in the US. Do not keep reducing US headcount simply to manage costs; it will cause frustration amongst good employees, who will then look elsewhere.
