Intel

Benefits and opportunity to work on technology.

Salary: slow vertical climb.

Performance management is deliberately used to foster a high-performance, dog-eat-dog competitive survival environment and ethic.

Management follows an unspoken template to foster paranoia, competition, and eventual distrust between peers.

Workers are used at the expense of health and life, and then disposed of when their usefulness has run its course.

Workers are constantly subtly faced with the threat of job loss.

The ability to politically maneuver the navigation of one's career is key.

Meritocracy is secondary to conniving astuteness.

Clear delineation between management and workers.

The promotion of work-life balance is a facade.

The employment of integrity boils down to money; integrity has no place in the human context.

Any plan to work for Intel only for one's whole life span will eventually limit their career and notion of ethics.

Working for Intel is worth the experience to understand life.
