Pros

The medical benefits are decent. The culture tries to push work/life balance, but it is a changing culture.

Cons

The chance for moving up through the pay grade is very limited. In the group I was in, senior management had no idea what to do with Software Engineers, including my direct manager. We felt like they never understood what we needed to do our job. The chance to move between groups and move up the chain is very limited and hard to do. If you decide to work for Intel, take some time to investigate the group you are going to work for and what the options are to move up the chain.

Advice to Management

Make sure you understand the jobs of your employees and what they need to do those jobs.
