Pros

Intel pays very well and you get to work with a lot of great people. I am often amazed that I am working among them. For me, the annual reviews have always been a positive experience. Intel rewards accomplishments and the rewards are substanstial. I have seen a two-fold increase in total compensation since I started working 5 years ago. The benefits are great. If the stock would start to move a bit, it would be that much better.

Cons

It is huge!!! There is a lot of visible waste in any large company like Intel. It is not a place to be if you want to climb the corporate ladder quickly. Also, because it is big, if you are looking to get rich on stock benefits, don't count on it.
