Difficult to move up in pay grades
Difficult to move up in pay grades
Intel has more benefits than any other company I’ve worked for. As a technician, we receive:
Per 2-week pay period:
- 3 hours vacation
- 3 hours sick time
- 110 holiday hours per year (used the same as vacation time)
Generous break schedules and low stress (depending on your work group).
It is very difficult to stand out and get a pay grade promotion. The average raise is 2 percent a year, and it is almost impossible to get 3 percent.
The job itself is somewhat unsatisfying, and the 12-hour days leave no time to enjoy after work. It can be very boring.
The cost of living is insane compared to the salary range. An average 1-bedroom in Hillsboro is now $1500, which is likely going to be more than your take-home pay for one paycheck.
Be more hands-on with helping to train new hires.

One 15-minute phone interview. Typical personality questions, such as: Why do you want to work here? The phone interview was good preparation for the group interview. It featured very similar questions with the addition of some technical ones.
