Only the smartest will survive
Only the smartest will survive
Good coffee and some decent people.
Poor leadership. Contractors are treated as second-class citizens or employees. Intel prefers brains over personality (I believe it should be an equal mix), so you may work with some mean-spirited people who will throw you under a bus to get ahead. There is also no overtime.
Must work on teamwork and team building. If team members don't get along, then defuse the situation before someone quits or worse. I worked for a team where they wouldn't get rid of a toxic individual because he was the smartest person in the lab. However, other contractors were quiet due to the toxic individual's behavior.
