Intel Work Experiences
4.0
Good place, but hard to professionally grow
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico
August 15, 2018
Pros: Generally, it's a good place to work, with a good salary and great compensation. You can find experienced people from whom you can learn (mainly when you collaborate with the US facilities).
Cons: This Guadalajara campus is seen more as a cheap-workforce place than a good engineering facility. Therefore, the possibilities for professional growth are low, and the possibilities to jump to something that actually interests you are really hard (if those work areas are not in the facility/country where you were hired).
4.0
Stable, Quiet, Good Pay

July 17, 2023
Pros: Up-to-date technologies, good work-life balance, nice people and work environment, a lot of emphasis on self-growth and professionalism, and a good salary. Overall, a good experience.
Cons: Felt like a cog in the machine. The vibe is a bit old. I would recommend it for people in their late 30s and above looking for something stable and quiet.
