Pros

Pretty good benefits, decent pay.

Cons

My experience at Intel has been pretty horrible. The job I applied for and the work promised never came, and I spent the entire time either training subpar contractors or rewriting tests after a senior engineer.

My time was expandable, with no hard limits on when I would not be on some sort of "on call."

Compensation is VERY low compared to other companies in the area, $20k+ lower than similar positions in the area.

I did not like the competitive feel brought on by the "focal process" in the company.

HR support was minimal.
