Great overall. A small team spirit that is occasionally stifled by the necessities of bureaucracy

Pros

Ability to work on interesting projects that will touch thousands or millions of people internally or externally. Competitive compensation and an appreciation for work/life balance. I've never met a bitter person, and everyone, from senior managers on down, was willing to give you the time of day.

Cons

It is at this point a huge company. Even though you might not appreciate this on a day-to-day basis, Intel's size will shape the types of projects you will work on and how much flexibility there is for change.

If you don't abide meetings and having upper-level management occasionally second-guess your work, Intel might not be the best place for you.

Advice to Management

Generally, keep doing what you're doing. Be as or more tolerant of risk and give lower-level managers the ability to investigate alternatives. Your next great product may be the result.
