Pros

Disciplined decision making and the opportunity to impact the whole computing ecosystem. Intel like most big companies allow you to make career changes without changing employers. From a benefits perspective both the sabbatical every 7 years and their 401k contributions are awesome.

Cons

Intel is no longer a growth company. The layoffs in 2006 were handled in a random and unprofessional manner which shattered the morale of the company. The real culprit was senior management being distracted with the Itanium processor while AMD out innovated Intel with Opteron to grab 30 percent of the server market share. Intel is now attempting to grow by reentering the stand alone graphics market (which it failed at miserably in the mid-90s) and selling millions of Atom processors at $10 each.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are about the best in the area. But as someone else pointed out there are not a lot to compare against in the Portland Oregon area. For my group there is good work/life balance. But from what I've heard from contacts in other groups around the company my group is in the minority.

Cons

There remains distrust of managment and the company. I think some of this lingers from all the redeployments/layoffs/firings - folks have not forgotten. Even though most of this appears to be over management has insisted that it will consistenly look to "improve effeciency". Even though this is standard fare for any good organization the way this is communicated leaves the employee feel uncertain about thier future. Also, like someone else mentions, there is flux and uncertainty in terms of what will stay in the US and what work will move overseas. It's true that phrases like "5 engineers for the price of 1" were often heard a few years ago. All this coupled with stagnant stock price has meant low moral for some folks.
