Pros
  1. Great work-life balance.
  2. Health benefits.
  3. Unlimited free drinks and fruits.
Cons
  1. Too many meetings.
  2. IT only supports Windows OS. If you are using Linux and OS X, IT support is limited.
  3. Hiring poorly skilled candidates because of "diversity initiative". Managers are specially looking for diversity candidates (women in tech and other minorities) to fill headcount at the cost of skilled candidates.
Advice to Management

Stop the diversity initiative. I have seen poorly skilled "diversity candidates" get hired and receive equal pay, which is very demotivating, especially at a great company like Intel.
