Intel

Can work on top technologies, and there is a good chance to make an impact. The company has very good values. There is good work-life balance in the company.

A large organization moves slowly. It needs to be more nimble in the software category. Pay is average, but there are other benefits. There are fewer job grades, so promotions are slow. Teams usually consist of a few very good people and mostly average folks.

Though the overall benefits package is marketed to be comparable, the salary is lesser than competitors. Teams need to be smaller with more ownership to move faster. Too many competing teams leads to politics and delays. There is competition across different geos without considering the company benefit as a whole.
