Pros

Work with great people on interesting projects. Good benefits. Projects with real impact on a worldwide scale. Work-life balance is encouraged (although sometimes hard to achieve).

Cons

Work-life balance can be challenging with teams across the globe and work that can include late-night or early-morning meetings.

There's a very specific corporate culture that may not be a good fit for all; things are done "The Intel Way."

It's often surprising how resource-constrained projects can be, despite the company being very profitable.

It's not a software company at heart, so being a software engineer at Intel can sometimes be frustrating due to a lack of software-related practices and management tools.

Advice to Management

Intel should get a lot more serious about software and software engineering practices. The company is often too democratic; some order and decision-making would often be appreciated.
