Pros

You can move around to different positions and learn new skills. The benefits are outstanding and the compensation is very competitive. In general I think Intel tries to do the right thing. It often fails in execution.

Cons

Politics, politics, politics. The downside of allowing people to move around with sometimes little experience for positions is that nepotism and the good-ole-boy mentality maintain a grip on the culture. Very demeaning. Also, because of the way Intel structures its review process and pits employees against each other, this environment doesn't breed collaboration but extreme competition. This creates silos and the hording of knowledge.

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.
