Pros

Let's face the facts: this is a very old and very huge company in Penang. It has gone through a lot, but it's still here, and also has the reputation of one of the best companies, giving out one of the best compensations, benefits, salary, and bonuses.

Working in Intel Malaysia requires one to be resilient, as well as willing to step up and do more. If you're one who expects to be continuously paid highly yet doing the same old execution work day in and day out, you'll be managed out, as one day your juniors will step up and overtake you.

The site leaders are united and very aggressive in making sure Intel Malaysia continues to be the corporation's main offshore site.

  • Medical benefits are awesome.
  • Dental and optical are about the same.
  • Salary is above average. It does not make you a super rich person, but also does not make you beg for food at the end of the month.

The site facilities are growing old, but they're refurbishing it slowly. Hey, it's a huge campus. Give it some time, will ya?

There are many work opportunities. It's a matter of what you want to do, not what you're given to do. Many employees fail to see that.

RSUs... oh my God... it's amazing.

Profit sharing... goodness... I can't thank the company enough.

The recognition system helps so much in my monthly expenses.

Travel opportunities... I get to go on so many trips to places I never thought I'd step foot on ever in my life.

Hence, I really do not know what the rest complain about. You only have yourself to blame, seriously.

Cons

There's a rat hanging around in my cubicle area. I lost a box of wholemeal cookies due to this little fellow.

Advice to Management

You're doing great. Make sure Intel Malaysia is always the No. 1 site for efficiency and flawless execution.

Get rid of the whiners. Please figure out how to attract and retain the millennials.
