"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."

It cannot hurt to examine how best to channel the extra energy into progress, though."
