Pros

If you want to design microprocessors or semiconductor technology, this is the place. The technology is as good as it gets, though it can be difficult to pursue new ideas within the existing bureaucracy. There are advantages to working for a market leader in terms of resources, technology, marketing, etc.

Cons

People are simply meat puppets. "You own your own employability" is the excuse for having no management investment in employee development. It's a cold, competitive culture. Only the paranoid survive is taken by many employees to be paranoid about their fellow employees rather than the competition. It's so very big there are pockets of excellence and pockets of crap. It's difficult to know which is which before you sign up.

Pros

Depending on job, work/life balance can be great. Good benefits including stock purchase, retirement contributions, stock allocations. Very ethical corporation, makes one pround to work there. The opportunity to try several job functions through lateral moves is very high. One can pretty easily get general management explerience by taking jobs in different functional ares. It is accepted practice to move jobs every 1-2 years. People are very friendly and talented. A focus on family is obvious with alot of flexibility for work/life with young families. Of course this can change depending on the manager. Great people to work with, most have a strong affinity for Intel.

Cons

Hierarchial, very large corporation can make one feel lost or detached from the prodcuts and customer. Power and decisions seem limited to the few of est. 85k employees, although I suspect this is typical of large corporations. Leadership program is limited to mid-managers with nothing for rising talent. Not necessarily a bad thing, but you must own your own employment and have plan for promotions and career, they will not be handed to you. Often times working in remote groups. Allows for good flexibility for working from home and flexible hours but can limit the amount of comradery and teamwork one feels when everyone in the same place.

Pros

Competitive environment which gives you the opportunity to work with great people. You learn how to execute efficiently.

Cons

Its a huge corporation consisting of several large business groups, each of which tends to pigeonhole individuals into certain job roles, and force a specialization onto them.
