Pros

Decent 401K investments, good bonuses if you are higher up (I am not). Very good education benefits.

Cons

The pay structure is heavily vested towards bonuses and stocks rather than salary. Work-life balance is talked about but not followed through. There is poor commitment to software development.

The company is full of ladder climbers. Management is constantly throwing their teams under the bus, and everyone is playing politics.

Advice to Management

Loosen up and let your teams self-motivate. There seems to be an influx of micromanagers who have their fingers in too many pies. A coworker of mine termed it micro-meddling, which is a very apt term for most Intel managers.
