Don't join Intel Labs unless you're a Data Scientist
Good salary, industry-leading benefits, working with true cutting-edge technologies years before public availability.
Poor/misguided management, corporate politics, catering to specific 'talent' only.
In a research team of engineers and scientists, everyone should be first-class citizens, with opinions and contributions valued equally.
Within Intel Labs, this is not the case. Scientists are clearly valued more highly, even when it comes to software design (which many don't have a professional background in). Engineers are expected to 'fix' sloppy work by scientists and penalized when they are unable to.
Bottom line: If you write code in a professional environment, you should be held to professional processes and standards (or at least be willing to improve your skills). Management needs to understand and enforce this, instead of using engineers as scapegoats for all technical issues (because we have less academic backgrounds or whatever the reason is).
