Intel

Good pay and benefits, a large cafe with many options for all meals, and lots of time off.

Recent college grads have too much power to make big mistakes and get so many chances to continue to make bad decisions.

It amazes me that young, recent college grads get more power to make horrible mistakes than do the seasoned veterans who have decades more experience.

There is HUGE divisiveness between co-workers due to this fact. I've worked in 4 groups and no one even likes one another. The team builders often times fail because no one wants to see those they work with 12-hours per day after work.

There's a department called the "Great Place to Work" department that puts together lame things for folks to feel like they're important, but they are simply ridiculous ways of saying "we're trying" rather than make real changes to end the divisiveness between co-workers.

There is no trust, and it's rare to find someone who is truly trying because they so often get doors slammed in their face.

The large cafe I mentioned earlier is large indeed with lots of choices. The food typically is horrible, and they completely overcharge.

Lots of time off is followed by a horrible 12-hour, ball-busting shift....and they continue to cut resources, so everyone remaining has to work even harder.

Quite the sweat shop inside the fab.

The CEO said in a video he wants to begin hiring more folks from other cultures because he thinks white males have enjoyed too many years of privilege.

Morale is worse than I've ever seen in my 30-year career in the semiconductor industry.

There is no management person I am aware of who believes themself in need of any advice.

I have tried my best to be a voice of reason, a voice for things I think would be refreshing and help improve morale.

Nearly every manager I have ever been around at Intel thinks they already know it all.

So many of them are former engineers who have been Peter Principled into a job of manager that is completely over their head.
