Some people love their job. Some people get treated really well and have good managers. Good benefits compared to all the companies that have no benefits.
There are still worse jobs out there.
Some people get brutally overworked and taken advantage of because they're salaried.
Some managers are workaholics, bullies, and are not fit for management or leadership roles, but end up there because there aren't many pathways upward besides management.
The company is generally exploitative of employee salary status.
Pay is barely competitive (if competitive at all). You can make more as a consultant or contractor supporting Intel's projects (though some "green badge" consultant/contractor companies are very exploitative and take advantage of their employees worse than Intel does). You could make the same amount at city, county, or state jobs. You could make the same amount in places with less cost of living than places where Intel does business.
Management seems to change their minds all the time, which creates a hectic work environment.
Companies need to realize that there need to be alternate paths upward to retain experienced employees besides management. So many people aren't fit for management and cause employee unhappiness and turnover.
"Leaders" (and managers) are not drill sergeants. They get nowhere just asserting authority over their team (besides making teams less productive and eventually causing turnover).

The interview process was basic and fast-paced, as the company needed to fill a number of roles quickly. My good timing and understanding of a normal interview process contributed to my success.
