Intel

Big company with many opportunities.

There are lots of smart people.

Good training opportunities.

Lack of integrity of the management.

Intel benefits look good on paper but are not honored by middle management.

Intel has a crisis culture that burns people out.

The internal bureaucracy is mind boggling and often costs vast amounts of time for the simplest tasks.

The work spaces are loud and there is limited janitorial staff.

IT services make the DMV look efficient.

Work days are filled with useless meetings during which most employees ignore the topic to send email.

Public humiliation is considered good leadership by management.

Honor your benefits packages for vacation and respect FMLA labor laws. I sadly found out that these policies are not worth anything since middle management does not honor them and senior management does not value its people.

Treat your employees like they matter instead of disposable equipment.

After 16 years, I left for a better culture and better pay. I would not consider returning to Intel unless the dysfunctional corporate culture is corrected.
