Intel

• Salary tends to be higher than average
• Nice bonuses
• Good medical insurance

Expect a lot of burnout; the "power on" crunches are particularly severe.

Cutthroat performance evaluation; expect a lot of intrigues and backstabbing over salary raises and/or promotions.

Managers at Guadalajara have never grown a spine to oppose stupid decisions from headquarters.

The 2016 layoffs leaned towards 40-60 year old employees, which prompted employees in the US to sue Intel over age-based discrimination; Intel has been dragging out the lawsuits ever since. In Guadalajara, Intel leveraged its clout over the governor of Jalisco back then, Aristoteles Sandoval, to make the state labor ministry turn a blind eye over the conditioning of our severance payment to signing a 5-year non-disclosure agreement; we were also vetoed from being re-hired until October 2022, and only because the pandemic employment crisis also hit Intel.

Paul Otellini and BK eroded the science & engineering approach of Intel to make it just another profit-at-all-costs company that doesn't give a grap about its employees (historical dirty tactics against competitors aside). To be honest, I doubt PG will make changes for the better.
