Pros

Really lots of goodies (Cafeteria, gym, family activities...), good work-life balance, a great company to work at.

Cons

It's really hard to get promoted from engineering to tech lead. There's lots of competition. Too many managers don't have inter-communicational skills, but mostly technical skills. There's an overlap of the same work/products with other groups or startups Intel buys. This is less recommended for software developers.

Advice to Management
  • Promote people with managerial skills (not only strong technical ones).
  • Give more responsibilities to your developers (not just a screw in the system).
