Pros

Intel offers decent perks along with a well-established team of engineers.

Their data center products, like optical transceivers, constantly evolve and make use of silicon photonics. It is an excellent place to grow and explore in this area.

This was when Pat Gelsinger was still the CEO, and their optical transceiver business is a quite stable sector compared to their other offerings.

Cons

The breadth of projects you will be working on is often limited. Despite being a big company, their teams fail to attract new talent as much. I worked in New Mexico, and it is not a great place for socializing outside work.
