Pros

Intel funded our startup division, Intel Media, and eventually spun it off to Verizon.

Intel made sure we had the right talent and resources to really innovate.

Fantastic benefits, ESPP, stock grants, bonuses, and work/life balance. I really am proud to say I worked for Intel.

There is an employee cash bonus and accelerator.

The culture is that of "get it exactly right" and "be respectful of others."

Cons

Intel really missed on the mobile window and is now trying to catch up. The stock performance really reflects that. Intel is a great, long-term place to work.

Advice to Management

While I wish they had retained our TV endeavors, I completely respect Mr. Krzanich's direction to put investment towards wearable and mobile chips.

Also, continue to move to a meritocracy-based performance model to reward individuals for great work.
