Pros

The benefits package is pretty good. The atmosphere is fairly laid back. Most of the individual contributors are very smart people. And nowadays Intel is making products to really be proud of again.

Cons

Corporate management doesn't seem to have a clear direction. There are too many middle managers. Reorgs seem to just be shuffling the same people around. There are few new people bubbling up from the ranks. Those anagers often act as if saving money is more important than employee morale or product quality (I speak of internal software here - the chips are well tested). There are frequent (it seems like perpetual now) reorgs for just reorgs sake - the senior management gets bonuses for making changes, not the result of those changes.

Pros

Great people, deep pockets, good products

Cons

Hard to get things done. Still too many layers of decision makers. More of a focus on people and process than results, vs. the famous results orientation of the past.

Pros

High tech company. Sabbaticals every seven years, telecommuting policies that allow workers to work from home one day a week, 3 weeks of vacation the first year you work there and 4 weeks vacation after working there 10 years. Reasonably good pay and their bonus program is a substantial part of the total compensation. Lots of challenging work and opportunties to bite off as much as you can chew (or more). Side benefits like free soft drinks, coffee and tea from the cafe is nice. Free fruit is a great way to eat healthier. Worldwide presence and opportunities for travel.

Cons

"Redeployments" are done with no logic. Extremely talented resources (people) are let go that have a wealth of legacy knowledge and experience. Like other large, major corporations, it's very easy to get caught up in the bureaucracy of doing things just to support efforts from on high that, at the end of the day, don't really add a lot of value. Taking away the ability to work remotely (no physical office presence in any Intel building) forced many talented individuals to leave the company when they chose not to relocate to an approved site. Uncertainty on whether you will have a job or not 6 months from now is a definite downside.
