Intel

Good place if you are interested in low-level embedded/system software development.

Stability - although this was drastically reduced in the past few years.

Impact - working on products which reach millions.

Cross-geo - get to work with teams around the globe.

Good work-life balance.

The company sells H/W, and all priorities are derived from that. Software is not a core business.

Bonuses are not really bonuses; they are essentially an integral part of the salary and a way to reduce social benefits payments.

Total compensation (with bonuses) for Software Engineers is mediocre and not really competitive today.

Bureaucracy: tons of emails and meetings which waste your time. Every significant change requires a long string of approvers.

No coherent vision/strategy for the company; frequent and pointless reorgs.
