Pros

Intel has been a great company to work for over the years. I was fortunate to work under excellent management during most of my career. The company has very high ethical standards.

My managers built high-performing teams by:

  • Hiring talented and dedicated employees.
  • Fostering an environment of innovation and respect for all team members.
  • Providing clear goals and removing roadblocks when required.
  • Motivating the team by rewarding teamwork and excellent results.
Cons

The current upheaval created by BK's purge of 12,000 employees has reduced employee morale and, in some cases, created a bit of a "Hunger Games" atmosphere. I expect morale to improve once the purge is done and Intel gets back to a more teamwork-oriented environment.

Advice to Management

Focus on rebuilding high-performance teams with clear goals, where people can focus on producing top-quality results and are not hampered by concerns about being cut.
