Intel

Free food at the work cafeteria.

Good if you have 0 experience after graduating college.

Many opportunities to go into management.

Very diverse work environment: refreshing to have ladies like me around, and many BIPOC people.

No more bonuses (used to be quarterly based on performance; now a bonus amount 1/10th the size is coming back next year).

All other engineers left my team. No others have been hired, and no raise has been given (been there several years).

If you don’t want to be a part of management, good luck getting a raise.

Horrible salary for my line of work ($76k max while having to be on call).

Expectations are high for pay grade.

Excessive work hours (24/7 on call).

NO backup team member to share the workload. It’s just me and my manager.

My manager mentioned being ready to quit too.

Hire more engineers. The reason your engineers keep quitting is pay and workload. If engineers quit, please replace them or train new ones.

Bring back bonuses (ACTUAL bonuses, not these ‘2024’ very small bonuses when we work our butts off). Pay your people. We work so hard, expectations are too high, and you act like we need to be in person every day to actually get things done, when I’m working 8 am-10 pm most nights doing the job of an entire team. Treat your people better if you want to retain them.
