Intel

• Flexible work hours with the option of remote work or hybrid work is amazing! I am never stuck in a commute anymore. I was given an allowance of 1000 USD to set up my home office as well.

• The company's vision and mission is something that I personally believe will succeed in the coming years.

• A great, charismatic CEO who was formerly an engineer at Intel. I like how down-to-earth he is and how open he is to tough conversations. One small thing that I appreciate is his weekly update videos that he releases to employees every Friday.

• The people here are nothing short of talented and supportive. I have seniors who are willing to mentor and advocate for me when it comes to promotions. The lack of office politics is great as well.

Not enough headcount in some areas leads to overworked employees. It feels like a startup for some projects.

Career progression is similar to other multinational companies in that it is quite slow, even if you are talented and perform outstandingly.

Current austerity measures over the last year contribute to lower morale and turnover, leading to more work for those who are left behind.

A lot of middle managers are overworked, from my observation. Splitting teams or appointing assistant managers could help them do a better job overall. I think compensation has to go up, as the cost of living in Malaysia is increasing faster than usual recently due to the weaker ringgit.
