Pros

Flexible working hours. Can switch roles quite easily.

Cons

Terrible HR.

Layoffs based on HR Excel files, not on real performance.

Terrible 360-degree feedback.

Everyone is underrated and underpaid, at least in Poland.

Employer does not fight for an employee if they decide to leave.

No innovation, only execution of what is invented or started in the US.

Significant outsourcing.

Advice to Management

Start managing, motivating, and developing people's careers. The best way to describe the situation is:

"CFO talks to CEO. CFO: 'What are we going to do if we invest in our employees and then they leave in the next two years?' CEO responds: 'What if we don't invest, and they stay!'"

Also, actions like ACT – massive layoffs are creating very bad visibility and PR. Now, these best talents who remained are looking for other opportunities because Intel is no longer a place where people can grow or work till their retirement.
