Pros

There are two reasons people work here. First, so they can tell people they work at Intel. The main reason is they are paid a little more than other companies.

Cons

Everyone is out for themselves; there's no teamwork. Technical people spend half their day in meetings. This is so that the third of the company that does nothing has something to report. There are no boundaries on the hours meetings will be scheduled or the number of hours you work. "I survived another year" is a common saying, which is very sad.

Advice to Management

Face reality; the glory days of the stock doubling every 2 years are long gone.

It is just another job.

Reduce the workload on your technical folks so they have time to innovate and get off the treadmill. Clean house of the meeting/email/do-nothing folks.
