Good Perks, Bad Promotions
Good Perks, Bad Promotions
Good sick/vacation time off policies, decent on-site gym, overall positive work environment.
Promotion from within is terrible.
Intel often expects employees who earn a "promotion" to take on more responsibility without an increase in pay.
Trainers with years of experience are often paid less than the new employees they are training.
Terrible cafeteria food.
When employees go above and beyond to earn a promotion, they should be fairly compensated for that effort. 'Lateral moves' for positions with increased responsibility is a widely discussed qualm among manufacturing. MTs moving 'up' to ETs for the same pay, or ETs moving 'up' to Engineering while taking a pay cut, is unacceptable.
When you pay new employees more than the people who have been working at Intel for years (and then expect your veterans to train the new kids making higher wages for the same job), you push your talented employees to your competitors where their work is fairly compensated.
