      Great potential if note stifled by bureaucracy; stay around for the insurance.

      Pros

      Resources (e.g. equipment, expertise) are widely available. The chance to make a difference in the PC industry is greater here than nearly any other place. There remain some very smart people, even though many have left either due to incompetent management or lack of ability to cut through the bureaucracy.

      Cons

      Intel has a simply huge extremely bloated bureaucracy. This results in the inability to make decisions -- either to try something new or to quit doing something old. As a result, it can be EXTREMELY frustrating to watch. Many groups have strongly top down management style, usually by people who often have no clue (technical or business-wise). There are a lot of old-timers who rose in the ranks either from length of being there or from having so many people hired under them. These people are usually not bright, and usually INCREDIBLY insecure, resulting in political nightmares. See the book "Losing Faith" (google it) for a good description.

      Just another peon.

      Pros

      Flex-time. Get your work done and they won't focus on when you clock in and clock out. Quarterly offsites for team building. Always something new to work on.

      Cons

      Soulless environment. Gray cubes, gray walls, gray floor. All the hallways are enclosed so you need to make an effort just to find a window to look out of. Tuition reimbursement is rigged. Unlike companies that do tuition reimbursement from a centralized HR, they control it at the department level budget. So you must present a case that it will help your immediate job, despite it helping further your overall career. So if you are looking for them to pay for a grad degree, don't count on it.

      More to like than not. A good place to grow and learn. It's not always easy at the cutting edge.

      Pros

      Decent pay, decent benefits, interesting & challenging work. The illusion of job security. If you want to work hard, learn a lot and kick ass, you can do well at Intel. There are a lot of great people here: smart, hard-working, dedicated and visionary. Thing aren't perfect at Intel, but it's hard to argue with the technological and financial results this company has produced, and Intel's record in contributing to environmental, educational and community causes is impressive. They keep paying me, I'm still having fun (most days).

      Cons

      It's easy to criticize. Be prepared to work in an environment where a Darwinian approach to annual reviews prevails. If you're not amongst the brightest in your class, be prepared to live in the middle of the bell curve, if you're lucky. Sometimes management has a hard time facing and/or telling the truth to themselves and the employees; it sometimes seems they are so wrapped up in marketing spin they can't see reality. There is atyrannical regime in control of the Oregon development groups that is difficult if not impossible to work with, and embodies the worst arrogance that Intel is known for in the larger marketplace. If you let it, Intel will take over your life.
