Pros

Competitive pay, strong benefits, quarterly team events, and lots of opportunity for growth and advancement.

You get a sense of pride when you see the products you worked on being demanded by your friends and family.

Very flexible in terms of working from home, vacation, and sick time.

The yearly feedback process is constructive and fair, providing employees with the knowledge they need to actually advance their careers, rather than simply punish them for not performing.

Cons

Work comes in waves. Some months it will be slow; others will be very intense (this obviously depends on where in the company you work).

Legacy reuse tends to cause a lot of headaches.

Advice to Management

You are already doing a lot to speed up the pace that Intel can change with market demands, but it needs to be faster. Intel should keep pushing into the mobile space, despite any criticism, because it has a uniquely valuable product that, once a larger portion of the market is won, can be a good source of profit in the future.
