Pros

Flexible hours - work-life balance is great. Friendly people. Not feeling pressure. Intel does not fire. Convenient. Your salary gets bigger every year (which is convenient, but on the other hand, you can't ask for a raise midyear).

Cons

Far from home.

Salary is okay, but not great. I can get a lot more outside Intel.

Lately, Intel started to fire people, so you always feel like you are the next to be kicked out.

Hard to advance on the ladder.

Advice to Management

Stop admiring yourselves!

When a manager quotes something another manager told him in his presentation like he was Abraham Lincoln or something, it's ridiculous!

Next time you want to cut down employees, come with a defined plan. Announcing the cuts, but then to struggle with how to do it is stupid and makes your employees, who are on the stake, work much less efficiently.
