I can't think of anything good about working here.

Cons

I Chandler Arizona at the Intel sites... Corruption, Favoritism, Discrimination... You name it! The managers are not leaders, just glorified hourly employees promoted based on what they know and who they know. I don't recommend anyone work here. Worst place ever!
