Start here but look for better elsewhere.

Applications engineer

Pros

Intel provides a great place to start a career. If you can find the right group to work for, you learn attention to detail and great discipline to get things done. They have a lot of smart people there and they all work pretty hard. Once you leave Intel, people respect the fact that you've been there especially if you stay in the semiconductor industry. There seems to be an "Intel Mystique" everywhere you go.

Cons

Like all big companies, decisions take forever and it often adversely affects execution.

Intel can be great if some changes are made.

Product manager

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a lot of good lateral movement opportunities (especially when you are dissatisfied with your own job). Good pay and benefits overall, although can't speak for all jobs. Lots of good managers within the company and very good direction overall.

Cons

Upper management has some serious work to build trust with employees again. With cuts and some questionable movements into new areas while discounting other more lucrative areas, sometimes it is hard to trust what is going on at the highest levels. The review process pits employees against each other, which creates an adversarial environment. Also, it's not always the person who does the best job but the person who is able to do show he does the best job instead.
