Pros

Lots of opportunities - a large global company covering many businesses.

Market leader and direction setter for the industry.

Relatively easy to move around internally.

Despite the size of the company, they are reasonably open with communication to the employees.

Competitive salary and benefits.

Cons

Large and bureaucratic. Some are frustrated by the ranking and rating process, but I found it to be a reasonably fair system. Depending on the organization, technical ability is sometimes the reason for promotion to management, and this can breed some poor people managers who continue to succeed because of their technical skills.

Advice to Management

Find a way to succeed outside of microprocessors.
