Pros: Good benefits. Some groups provide a very good work environment and the opportunity to work with talented people. Good culture and values.

Cons: There is a lot of bureaucracy, and it seems like there is a lot of variation in compensation. Every manager can give you multiple bureaucratic excuses for why a promotion cannot be given or how many years one should work at a certain grade level before getting promoted. Some groups have great work-life balance, while some other groups have none.

Pros: Great benefits, never a lack of work or opportunities for those who are willing to put in the work. Very focused job roles and a lot of resources to help you do your job well.

Cons: Can be competitive, can be strenuous, with long hours. Lots of corporate BS, like endless meetings and heavy groupthink. Resistance to change and innovation if it breaks the status quo.

Pros: Benefits are great, with lots of resources and an impressive support structure to enable your success across the board. There are many areas to explore if you aren't happy with your current position, and they are open to moving you if you need to. Workers seem cared for and taken care of in every aspect.

Cons: Ridiculous rules and rigidity. Millions of classes, signs everywhere warning you about holding the handrail so you don't die. Depending on your department, there are meetings every hour. Pressure comes from the chain, as expected, given Intel's performance in the market lately. Generally not a very entrepreneurial company, and you can feign innovation and creativity to get ahead even when you haven't done a lot. No one who makes decisions is spending their own money, so like most big companies, there ends up being a lot of bloat and lack of efficiency. Because of this, a lot of employees manufacture work so they stay relevant, and no one wants to admit there are too many people doing the same job.
