Intel

Intel provides ample learning and professional development opportunities. The people who work there need to know hardware, operating systems, compilers, and things more complicated than, say, HTML and Javascript. Therefore, you tend to find a very different crowd than you see at Facebook or Google or other web companies.

Intel is good at hardware, and they stay close to that, instead of venturing out to areas that can produce a lot of revenue, such as software and services.

This often creates an atmosphere of stagnation and low morale, especially if you are a high achiever.

No one knows how to use your hardware better than you. So use it.

Create better operating systems. A better computer.

Your partners (Microsoft or HP) won't and can't do it.
