Pros

It's a big company with many projects going on that you'd never think Intel would be involved with. Ability to work on many different things if desired.

Cons

With a huge company comes huge politics. Politics go all the way to the individual contributor. If you just want to write code you won't do well here. You have ot play the political game in order to survive and grow your career.

Pros

Flexible work culture and employee benefits. This role is suitable for individuals who are not very skilled in technical tasks and prefer to delegate responsibilities to others or vendors.

Cons

Zombie organization and people with no enthusiasm. Dog eats dog like culture. People working since 25-30 years have adamant mindset(please retire and make room for people who actually cares about doing good job). Use of old technology and methods even today. Some people are racist. People with zero technical knowledge and competency leading teams. You will see both dumb and highly intelligent people working in same team. No room or appreciation for innovation. Favors slavery over competency. Typical bureaucratic organization.
