Intel

Employee friendly. Lots of goodies. Good work-life balance.

If you are looking for a technical software job, this is not the company anymore. You will get service company-like jobs, such as fixing static code analysis issues, legacy bug fixing, etc.

This is typical of an MNC, where US and EU employees get to do the important work, whereas India is seen as a maintenance center only.

There are zero onsite opportunities.

Any paper or presentation opportunities are few and far between and mostly get canceled by your managers.

Managers have zero roadmap, and you are left in the dark about the future.

I have worked in two business divisions; one of which thankfully closed, and the other, called IOTG, is worse than a service company.

Few managers in IOTG even openly discourage you from attending trainings, presenting, or publishing papers and patents.

Come with very, very low technical expectations if you are in software.

Promote a technical, innovative culture. You are a technology company, not a service company!

Educate managers about the importance of this culture.

A brand name is everything.

If you want to brand Intel India as a service company, you are on the right track. Else, act immediately.

Otherwise, why should we, as employees, choose you to work for?
