Pros

Intel is the leader in the industry. As such, you get to work with a lot of really smart people.

There are many opportunities to try different job roles on many different projects.

Management has been very flexible when it comes to work/life balance.

Cons

Accomplishments as part of a team go unrewarded. Individual accomplishments rule, and you must find a way to stick out or be the one to take recognition for a team effort.

Advice to Management

Find a way to reward your employees better, especially $. Free coffee and soda are great, but hearing every year that we are compensated "in line with the industry average" is deflating to say the least. C'mon, we lead this industry by a large margin. Compensate your employees as the best in the industry, not average.
