Vantaggi
Salary - Intel Corporation is a giant in the tech environment, so due to its high profit margins, salaries tend to run pretty high. Physical work environment - The company has "Googlized" their physical working environments with dynamic, open work spaces, meeting rooms and lounges. It can be noisy, but I find them supportive and collaborative . Health Benefits - Intel also offers a strong benefit package and managing those benefits - from your PC - can be easy as well. Diversity - The company has taken a strong stance on encouraging diversity and equal pay for women.
Svantaggi
Work hours - Since Intel has a worldwide presence, many managers (but not all) expect their employees to work outside 9-5 hours for meetings with other regions. A few years ago, the company pushed work a more forgiving work/life balance, but those days are gone b/c of the new CEO. Long hours - Long workdays are expected, and as part of the culture, checking email and performing other work occur in the evenings. Crying Poverty - Intel frequently takes spending actions to reduce expenses and enacts layoffs and moving jobs overseas. It is kind of amazing for a company that makes billions and billions of $, but I called it "Intel constantly cries poverty". Raises/Promotions - Significant raises and promotions rarely happen unless the employee takes the initiative to actually apply for a position outside of his/her group. Big raises and promotions will not happen based on one's own merit of working hard. My biggest advice is anyone at Intel is don't stay in a job or a group for more than 2-3 years and make every move a new job promotion. You can be wildly successful at Intel, if you don't get comfortable at one position.
