Great place to work!

Component design engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Great compensation! Large enough that you can move around inside the company and get lots of experience in different areas. Free drinks! Movie nights! My group has been very flexible about vacations. Even though we only get 3 weeks of vacation, we can always take a little more if needed. Sabatticals are great too.

Cons

The stock doesn't seem to go up very much. Focals can be challenging for those not in the top 10% because only the top performers get big raises. The rest either get very average raises or none at all. Seniority doesn't count for anything, it's all based on what you know and who you know.

Pros

Equal opportunity. Meritocracy. Ability to speak your mind and be heard.

Cons

A little bureacratic at times, and I think sometimes Senior Management does not really get what is going on down on the ground floor.

Pros

Being such a large, world-wide company, Intel has many opportunities for career changes and exploring new business areas and work locations. Having worked in several different groups I've always found the general employee population to be bright, affable, and willing to help out when needed. Lastly, Intel is celebrating its 40th year anniversary by encouraging its employees to volunteer in the community -- the One Million Hours Volunteered in 2008 initiative truly shows Intel's good will in communities around the world.

Cons

Earning promotions to higher paying positions with greater responsibility may take longer than expected due to its long-established ranking & rating system. As a young leader in the company I've been frustrated by management's lack of attention to new employees who show exceptional ability to make an impact at the company.
