Pros

Good compensation (for higher grades, when bonuses are doing well).

Prestigious, well-regarded company, even well known by regular people.

Intel has many high-volume products that are very visible in the marketplace.

Cons

Working at Intel in VLSI design does not prepare you well for working at other companies. Design teams are so large that you will only get a minuscule part of a chip, and you will gain very little knowledge outside of your little piece. Other potential employers will find that your skills trail those of peers at other companies.

Boring and dingy work environment.

Advice to Management

I don't really have any advice or feedback for the leadership of Intel Corp. I'm not sure what else to say.
