Pros

The team is positive. Work-life balance is good. The sign-on package is great (RSUs, sign-on bonus, etc.). There are bragging rights at family get-togethers.

Cons

I've joined Intel less than a year ago, and my manager, my manager's manager, and their manager have all decided to quit Intel within a month's time. This is very unsettling to see as a new hire. You're hired because you've shown yourself to be the best and brightest, only to be paired on a team with no direction and no morale to change. I don't have a plan to stay. Intel operates like an early 2000s company. Pat talks a good game, but employees feel uncertain times are ahead.

Advice to Management

Provide career paths for employees. (Although I've only been here a year, I can see people have been their sample position like a dusty paperweight).

Having three levels of organization leadership quit nearly all at the same time should never have happened. These are critical roles to ensure teams don't devolve into a Lord of the Rings culture.
