Pros

Reasonable TCOMP, but nothing remarkable.

Cons

Unfortunately, Intel does not innovate anymore. Nothing apart from client/server CPU projects gets any resources or attention. Initiatives to expand to other markets are based entirely on management fiat with little support, so when they inevitably fall behind or management changes, they get canceled. Employee development is nonexistent.

It's nearly impossible to 'break in' to any reasonable technical career path unless you want to move to Oregon or Santa Clara; all other locations are entirely ignored for 'real' engineering. I've had several managers over 15 years; a couple were really good, but on the whole, they have been wretched – no vision, no people management capabilities, no support for development, and unbelievable micromanagement. Forget working remotely.

Advice to Management

Just resign. Get out of the way. Let the engineers do their job.
