Intel

Intel is a great company to work for. The CPUs/GPUs you work on are next-generation and very relevant to your life and just about everyone else's life throughout the world. Intel is one of those companies that, when you say where you work, people know and have respect for you. I find the work to be challenging, and the people to be nice. Intel, as a company, is helpful to the communities it lives in by supporting many employee volunteering programs. With matching employee contributions, Intel supports what its employees support. Intel has even put a lot of effort into going green. My best wishes to everyone.

You will instantly become tech support for everyone in your family. That is funny, but there are some serious cons.

Intel is still a great company to work for, but management has been slowly moving away from caring about their employees and toward caring about themselves. Hopefully, this trend will stop, and they will again realize how Intel came to be Intel: one of the greatest companies in the world.

Employee "punishments" is not a difficult task that has to be done. It is a failure to do your job properly and bring out the best people have to offer. Intel needs to move to larger direct reports per manager, something like 40 or more. Managers of small groups tend to hold back technology as their fears of not being able to keep up drive decisions using their managerial power instead of their intelligence.
