A circuit of managers
CPU Validation Engineer • Former Employee
May 16, 2023
Pros: - Very diverse and global. I got a chance to work with engineers all over the world from many different backgrounds.
- Retirement contributions.
- Personal leave was pretty flexible.
- Working on the bleeding edge of modern computing.
Cons: A revolving door of different managers, even for the same department.
Not much opportunity for growth.
Not a strong association of ownership of products produced.
After years of working and moving your family across the country to work for Intel, they unceremoniously laid off lots of hard-working folks—people that were around even longer than me.
So not much in the way of job security. I guess I lasted longer than the last CEO.
