Constant Layoffs, Backstabbing Coworkers, and Little to No Career Progression
Constant Layoffs, Backstabbing Coworkers, and Little to No Career Progression
Management only cares if you get the required work output done. They won't overwork you and force you to work overtime.
The company constantly announces layoffs. Hence, there is a constant fear of being laid off.
Lots of gossip amongst coworkers, and some coworkers will backstab you and only do what's best for them. Some of those coworkers will report you to HR for small mishaps, or casual conversations you had with another coworker to try to get you fired. Throughout my time at Intel, I've seen a few good coworkers get fired because of a small mishap they did.
Management does nothing about this if you tell them.
There is little to no career progress. You only get a max of 5% raises even if you are an overperformer. If you try to apply to other departments for a promotion, they decline you and just give you a standard rejection letter.
I was one of the highest performing members on my team. I got the highest raise amount every year and was set to get a pay grade promotion next year. I ended up getting laid off.
Intel is a sinking ship.
Listen to your employees. Offer advice to employees so they can move forward in their careers. Create incentives for high performers to continuously achieve new heights. Do something to prevent backstabbing amongst coworkers.

The interview was difficult and unstructured. Python was the targeted language, and I was asked various questions about OS concepts. Two interviewers seemed unsure of what to ask me that day.
