A large number of opportunities to move around in different areas
If you can overcome bureaucracy, there is a lot of interesting stuff to do and learn. You can switch job roles pretty easily. At least recently, they have defined a reasonable technical career path. This is a very technology-focused company, and technical people are valued. Initiative is highly valued. Finally, free soda/drinks.
Bureaucratic and slow-moving in some areas. But, that probably comes with the size. The size also implies that you can get frustrated with getting approval of your ideas and making them real. Hands-on work is valued less than PowerPoint slides in many organizations. Bad-looking cafes and cubes. Minus points for bad-looking campuses.
Due to the huge size, many people can just coast by doing nearly nothing.
Reduce bureaucracy and move faster. Ship something, even if it's not perfect, as a learning experience.

Intel Interview Experiences
Staff Software Engineer
It was over a decade ago, and mine was not a typical hiring process. I had specialized domain knowledge that is rare in India. The hiring manager knew me and sought me out through a headhunter. Hence, it was a simple conversation—not an interview!
Staff Software Engineer
Contacted first by a recruiter, followed by a four-hour on-site interview. No phone screen.
Manufacturing Technician
Very typical of a technical interview. Behavioral and technical questions, about half and half of each. I was sat down in front of a four-person panel, and they asked five behavioral questions, one for each of the following: * Safety * Teamwork
