Intel has a lot of hidden unemployment, internal politics and people who honestly don’t really like working.

Intel hires about half of the graduates from my uni, everyone who likes coding fled to startups or super specific teams.

There are strong engineers in Intel for sure but it has a pretty awful culture.

Nvidia’a isn’t great but it’s heaps better in terms of actually taking results into account.

My personal experience is only with the local (Israel) branches of both.
