"Intel is a great company to work with. Excellent work life balance. Work is pretty relaxed. Lot of exiting work to do. Managers here are very cool (although different people will have very different experiences). It does have the downfalls of any big company like internal politics and difficult to move up. Also Folsom is a wonderful place to live, hardly any traffic, cheap housing."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"The biggest issues I have seen in my two times at Intel have been a high level of insecurity and mistrust between employees of different groups. It is doubtful this is efficient and may be leading to unnecessary burn-out. It is unclear if this can be really addressed in any corporate giant, least of all in one that is very high-paced and demanding, especially as the best in the field tend to be emotionally energetic. It cannot hurt to examine how best to channel the extra energy into progress, though."

Design Engineer

"If you are a software engineer, go in eyes wide open. As long as you are don't mind being a mercenary, you'll be fine. Don't expect sucess to be a factor in long term growth of your team... sad, but a reality in many groups at Intel."

What don't you like about working at Intel?

"Software was considered second fiddle. Almost all of my projects were cancelled, even though in a few cases we had built very profitable products. Constantly seeing friends and teammates fired due to reorg becomes tiring and demoralizing."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"More focus required on a consistent organization for software development for the whole company. Release dead software projects - reuse is good, but pick software and/or software pieces which will promote success, as opposed to creating undue burden."

Component Design Engineer

"Very good place to work."
