Pros

Attractive pay, good benefits, and an okay work-life balance. For a new grad, it provides an excellent opportunity to break into the HW industry.

Cons

Staying for too long greatly diminishes your skillset, as your skills gradually become too Intel-specific and are not competitive with the rest of the industry.

Lots of talented and smart engineers leave Intel for FAANG, and UM doesn't backfill the shortage of teammates, so everyone else needs to do twice the amount of work.

Advice to Management

Prioritize promoting and retaining technical talent first, instead of promoting PPT warriors.
