Pros

Intel is a great place to work, and allows lateral movement within the company. Risk taking is very decently promoted and valued - allowing individuals to gain exposure and experience in multiple areas. The company does a lot for the community - volunteer and fund--raiser works are well supported. Flexible work hours, telecommuting, vacations, leave of absence for personal reasons are all well supported. Senior engineering staff is among the most talented bunch of folks in the industry.

Cons

Too large a company, makes it bureaucratic. Promotions/performance appraisal gets lost in the process. Being a large company, decision making process slows down as well.

Pros

Flexible work culture and employee benefits. This role is suitable for individuals who are not very skilled in technical tasks and prefer to delegate responsibilities to others or vendors.

Cons

Zombie organization and people with no enthusiasm. Dog eats dog like culture. People working since 25-30 years have adamant mindset(please retire and make room for people who actually cares about doing good job). Use of old technology and methods even today. Some people are racist. People with zero technical knowledge and competency leading teams. You will see both dumb and highly intelligent people working in same team. No room or appreciation for innovation. Favors slavery over competency. Typical bureaucratic organization.
