Pros

Intel is the leader in CPU manufacturing. You get to work on cutting-edge products. You get the opportunity to learn and work on the core concepts of CPU design, architecture, and validation.

In addition to the CPU segment, Intel has a presence in other fields such as Security (through McAfee) and some leading scientific areas, such as Machine Learning.

As part of Great Place To Work attempts, Intel India provides a wide range of benefits covering practically all aspects of day-to-day life:

  • Personal, Accident, and Health insurances
  • Internet reimbursement
  • Commuting options
  • Work From Home
  • Gym, Yoga, and Aerobics classes
  • Team outings
  • Regular workshops covering various topics

...and the list is endless.

There are numerous opportunities for an employee to grow as a professional and as an individual.

Cons

Some technologies at Intel are specific to the company and may not be relevant outside. I believe this is applicable, in general, to many big companies.

So, if you are working in such an area, it is advisable that you develop your general-purpose skills as well. However, since Intel has a huge number of areas and teams, you will always have the opportunity to do so.

Advice to Management

So far in my experience, I am fine with the management. There have been some occasional gaps between what management decided to do and what employees wanted. But, these happen everywhere and should not be a matter of serious concern. In general, I feel that the management takes good care of the employees.
