> If anyone can give Amazon a run for its money in treating its employees badly, my bet is on Intel.

For sure this, but for me it is the money. In the last year I was promoted and gained 11% at Intel. I left for a startup, and gained 40% more.

I'm pending an offer from a FAANG now and I anticipate that within a year I will have 2.5x my previous total comp at Intel.

Further, Intel markets to its own employees in an extremely disgusting manner. Great Place to Work, Overpriced food branded as healthy, Programs for meditation and whatnot, which all sound nice, but mean next to nothing.

Just provide some decent comp and remove non-technical managers from managing technical people and processes. Pitching a project was always a nightmare of whether the non-technical manager would get the idea (or understand the possibilities) or not.
