Pros

Opportunities to learn new technologies while working with very intelligent people. Plenty of variety and challenges while working in labs.

Cons

Treat contingent workers poorly. Contingent employees are treated like second-class citizens and are segregated.

Intel contract employees are given the impression that they will be converted to regular full-time employees. Then, when their contract is to expire, they are let go and replaced with another contract employee, who will ultimately receive the same crappy treatment.

With this policy, management is creating morale issues with all employees.

Advice to Management

Step up and convert Intel contract employees to regular full-time employees. Don't lead people on with false hope and empty promises; it will only lead to morale problems with all employees. Try listening to contract employees instead of pretending they don't have a voice or opinion. Do away with the Intel guideline that says a contract worker is ineligible to work at Intel for 6 months after being in a contract position for 2 years.
