Pros

If you like a fast pace and a place where nobody sugar-coats anything, then Intel is your place.

Cons

Career opportunities and growth are limited. The employee review process needs big improvements. Teamwork is encouraged, but you are rated on individual performance. Sometimes doing the right thing for the company is not a good idea for your personal rating. Employees are usually treated as an asset, not a person. A lot of folks here think that the Intel culture means that you need to be a jerk to be successful... and maybe that is true. Of course, that means that there are a lot of jerks working here.

Advice to Management

Show more respect to the employees.

Find a new growth business and do so quickly.
