Pros

Intel is fast paced, results oriented and you generally work with very smart people. It is a great learning experience in the first couple years. Intel also invests a lot in training so you can take all kinds of classes to fill out your skill set.

Cons

It can be really hard to move up since Intel isn't growing rapidly. Senior management seems checked out. It is a very aggressive culture which can be hard for some people to succeed in. A lot of people are promoted based on who they go to church with rather than their merits. This is especially true in the Oregon locations. Intel was an awesome company 10 years ago but I would think twice about joining now.
