Pros

The work is super cool. I get to work with cool technologies and I can own new tool development if I want to.

Cons

I am underpaid compared to most other big tech companies. Also, software engineers are extremely undervalued at Intel. The focus is on hardware, but even more than that on management. Being an incredible software engineer doesn't feel like the way to get ahead here.

Advice to Management

Pay skilled engineers more so they stay here.

Make rewards based on technical contributions.
