Ruthless employer that doesn't stand by its values
Ruthless employer that doesn't stand by its values
You'll learn fast and get great insight into how such a large structural organization works.
Great pay, but be prepared to work 24/7 for it.
Too many cons. The company talks about being part of a team, but the review process pits worker against worker. Every year, one person in a team will be delivered a poor review. It's about measuring your work against other team members.
This may work for those selling a number of units, but in the world of SW engineering, it's impossible to compare. It's like comparing apples with oranges.
Strong hierarchy of managers and above. Anyone below will have to rely on the goodwill of their manager to do well. If you have a bad manager (which there are many at Intel), then you can forget about a career.
Although flexible working hours are offered, women are under pressure to perform and work long hours. This may not fit well with family life.
Anyone with talent soon works out that they don't stand by their values and leaves.
The company has shifted from HW engineering to more SW engineering. That change needs to be reflected in changing the yearly reviews. Stop telling folks that if they don't like it, they should leave. If you value your employees, you would change this.

One interview. I was interviewed by two nice people. Three questions were asked, and I was also asked to speak of a project. I can't tell what comes next.
