Pros

The medical Benefits are decent. The culture tries to push work/life balance, but it is a changing culture.

Cons

Chance for moving up thru the pay grade is very limited. In the group i was in, senior management had no idea what to do with Software Engineers, including my direct manager. We felt like they never understood what we needed to do our job. The chance to move between groups and move up the chain is very limited and hard to do. If you decide to work for Intel, take some time to investigate the group you are going to work for and what the options are to move up the chain.

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.
