Pros
Intel is an "OK" place to work. After a few years it becomes a job, not a passion or career. At the end of the day the company is so big you scratch your head and wonder if you are even making a difference. Maybe it just the place for the person who would excel at a smaller start up type company. There are some good things -- Flexibility of schedules and sabbatical.
Cons
The Beuracracy at Intel can be overwhelming. Every few months we re-org and depending on the year decide if we will flatten the org and lay off managers or just add more manager for career growth (who will be redeployed the next time management decides we need to flatten the org. There is a constant need for "slides" for every meeting -- I am not sure some people could funtion without them. But to ensure they can still finction I am sure there is a process that they can use to get their job done -- Intel has a process for EVERYTHING, including how to walk down the stairs. I am not kidding!
