Pros

Top semiconductor company. a lot of smart people and nice human beings.. Good investment in research and development. some flexibility with life-work balance (even though in some teams it's a joke) I also loved the volunteering work we used to do as teams. Intel does a lot of community work and helps the community unfortunate people. they really take that seriously (didn't see that in other companies I worked for)

Cons

a lot of back stabbing from colleagues. Can't blame them: they are under constant pressure to be among the best or face termination. A lot of politics!!! a lot of retaliation from managers. Managers sometimes are simply not born to be managers. there should be another option to promote people (other than making them managers). I had a terrible manager at Intel. When they don't know how to direct you, they simply blame you for all their weaknesses.

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.
