Intel

Great Perks

Good flexibility for taking off.

Great Benefits.

They bend over backward to keep you comfortable in your job.

• Quarterly trips, both by the individual team and the whole site.

Great management from top to bottom - they try to keep you informed as they can.

Intel Austin has a recipe for doing things, and it mostly involves using low tech and compensating using a large amount of people/resources.

If you are a new hire or have low experience, this shouldn't matter because you need to learn the ropes anyway.

If you are a highly experienced person, it will be difficult to acclimate to the brute-force way of doing things.

If you are a person who likes to have control or some input on how things are done, I would not recommend Intel Austin as a place to work. There may be some other sites where this may not apply.

Changing things may not be possible because the majority of the methodologies are not created in the Austin area.

If you wish to retain the best and brightest, you will have to allow some kind way for them to contribute to the methods that are being applied to them.

If you are not interested in doing that, I would recommend sticking to hiring college grads and low-experienced people. It would allow Austin to keep the current methodology going.
