Great company, limited growth oppurtunity

Senior hardware engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

If u are in the right business/Technology group employees are exceptional. Helps in knowing different cultres as Intel is spread around the world. If u like to travel Intel has ample oppurtunities.

Cons

Growth path very narrow, difficult to move once u get in a field. Too many meetings ( which may be necessary) slow u down.

Paid well but need to devote all your time to work.

Hardware engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

At Intel you are compensated fairly well compared to other similar companies. At a big name company you also get the recognition and respect when you tell your friends where you work. Deep pocket also means when your group is dissolved for any reason, it is likely you can find something else (instead of getting laid off altogether).

Cons

Little to no work-life balance. People seem to compete how much more time they spend at work. Risk taking is not encouraged and solution to many management problems seems to be "work longer hours". Company is so large that a lot of legacy has to be supported and have to go through lots of bureaucratic red tape to get anything done.
