Former Employee – worked at Intel Corporation

Pros – Great package overall.
Lifestyle is very relaxing.
Open environment.
Very casual dress code.
Facilities offer great things like on-site gym, medical facility, cafeteria, softball field, basketball and volleyball courts.
People (other than some management at TMG) are pretty cool.
Multicultural (it seems like a UN meeting everytime).

Cons – Compensation ($) wasn't great unless you have higher degrees and not even then.
Management at ATTD has a lot of flaws and they're not very open to change.
Workload at ATTD can be a little too much very often.
Not everyone is up to date when it comes to technology, so you have to deal with that.
Some people might be to hard to deal with.

Advice to Senior Management – Have a better communication accross the board, not only with middle management, because they do not give the right message, it gets lost in transition.
Thank your employees for their efforts.
Encourage professional development by acting on it, not only talking about it.

Former Employee – worked at Intel Corporation

Pros – top technology place. Best place to work at if you are interested in silicon technology. Also great now for server ingredient technologies.

Cons – Mostly based on meritocracy but lots of scope for mediocre people to get by with BS. Management is too preoccupied keeping themselves in place and looking after themselves than grooming their employees

Advice to Senior Management – Weed out the management that exists only by playing politics. Politics to further company/group interests is one thing: it's quite another to use politics to hang around.
