Pros

You learn a lot. Most people working here are brilliant, top talent.

Pay is average, but there are lots of bonuses, but only if Intel's finances are good. Most of them are stock-based.

Great healthcare insurance.

You get like 15 days off per year in CR, 3 of them are wellness days.

Cons

Bonuses are stock-based and depend on earnings. In my time there, Intel was always in the red, so I didn't get much money.

Management changes a lot, which sometimes means you have to start a project over or change it completely.

There is a good work-life balance, but only those who make sacrifices are usually noticed and promoted.
