Pros

Flexible work hours and environment. It's a big place and with some work you can move around and find your spot for a while. You never stop running into amazing and smart people. Intel is a power-house of brains!

Cons

A lot of management. So much brain-power yet it sometimes feels like a Ferrari stuck in 2nd gear. Corporate management has lacked vision for many years. Recent lay-offs-by-spreadsheet and lack-luster stock performance impact moral. I feel we are turning more into a factory than a place of research and innovation.

Pros

Pay and benefits were good. Vacation, sick time, holidays and sabbatical are good.

Cons

Intel has fallen for the DEI scam. Before DEI the company hired employess based on skills and experience. Today they only care about checking the boxes, they hire based on race and gender idiologies. There are numerous cases where those very DEI hires caused accidents, missed processes, and/or were simply unreliable employees. But because they fit that DEI box they never were fired or even given warnings.
