For chip design, there is no place on Earth better than Intel.

Senior hardware engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

#1 semiconductor company on the planet. Intel has a lot of silicon design projects ongoing at any time. More than most companies. Intel has a strong focus on quality. Always pushing technology as hard as possible (need for speed, no need for power). Great benefits.

Cons

Everything is due yesterday. Everyone expects real time responses that are perfect. There's a lot of "analysis" which is unnecessary when the obvious is standing right in front of you. HR is still too powerful. IT is still way too big and bureaucratic. Too much money is spend on non value add programs like changing to "google like" offices.
