Outstanding benefits (sabbatical every 7 years is awesome), some of the most intelligent coworkers in the world, an extremely safe environment (safety is the #1 value), competitive pay, cutting-edge technology work, ease of lateral transfer to other positions, and a diverse culture.
Dog-eat-dog environment. The majority of coworkers are very competitive and tend to be back-stabbers. This is almost necessary in order to get an above-average rating and stay employed at Intel, although it didn't used to be that way.
Poor management. I probably only had maybe four decent supervisors during my nineteen-year tenure. Intel has never learned how to hire good managers; they take engineers and try to convert them into managers, which rarely works well.
Difficult to advance. Mentorship is very poor. Intel tried to start a management mentorship program a few years ago, but nothing ever became of it.
Poor work/life balance for exempts. Engineers in R&D especially are worked to death and have horrible morale, infecting the entire team.
Uncertain future. Intel used to be strictly a processor maker, but now seems to be floundering. The latest layoff was done extremely poorly, with employees who were good performers (maybe a bit older and higher-paid) let go.
Keep experienced employees, even though they may be paid a little more, and stop replacing them with green H1B's. Hire some decent supervisors who know how to manage people. Replace current CEO.
As an out-of-state applicant, I underwent an hour-long phone screen with the Test Engineer. The questions were technical and primarily related to the lab and products I would be working with. Some questions were overly difficult and unrelated, servin
I applied online and was called in a week. The process and interview were pretty smooth and easier than I thought. I had four interviewers: * One asked technical questions. * Another assessed behavioral and personality traits. * The other explaine
Managers and Head Technicians interviewed me in a one-on-one setting. We sat in the café area, so it was not very formal. Nobody at Intel dresses up very much, but I don't recommend coming casual as an interviewee. You should dress up for a job int
