Pros
  • Intel has a great working culture.
  • Intel policies protect employees from mistreatment.
  • Intel has huge benefits (dental, optical, outpatient, and etc.).
  • Multiple bonuses compensate for the average basic salary.
Cons

Although Intel has a great culture and work ethic, there are always politics involved.

Imagine creating a new project from scratch, and because some other organization found it valuable, they absorb it and take it away from your team. The politics at Intel is just too bad, in my opinion.

If your manager is bad, then your career is probably screwed. I've been a top-performing employee, but my promotion to the next grade got delayed due to a manager change (3 times).

Advice to Management

I hope Intel can look into the internal geopolitics that is happening across the world. I don't want to specify the regions involved.
