Great company, but pretty slow and too adult

Pros

In most cases, work/life balance is ok, but not in my personal case. The organization cares about ethics and social responsibility, and it certainly creates a lot of high-end technology.

Cons

The company is very slow, the opposite of Facebook. Most of the management staff is pretty old, too optimistic, risk-averse, and very closed-minded. Intel is a great company for an industrial or electrical engineer, but from a software engineer's perspective, it sucks (and a lot)!

Advice to Management

The promotion process should be less conservative; the environment doesn't care about creativity. Incentive risk among the ranks.
