Intel

Intel provides good pay with decent health benefits. Along with nice insurance plans, there are decent gyms with many classes each week.

Intel's sabbatical program is a welcome respite from a few years of hard driving.

Most development groups allow for very flexible hours.

Travel opportunities are good, especially at the shuttle sites. International travel for a lot of roles exists too.

There is a particular rigid bureaucracy, with many groups battling to maintain their fiefdoms. This leads to lots of mundane tasks needed to get things done.

Few people have big vision, and few opportunities to influence it.

Don't penny pinch on workspace.

Don't be so strict with headcount within a given org, especially when you change the role of the org.

Drive an ecosystem, not just a building block.
