Intel

• Payment is good.

• The stock share plan is very good for long-term employees.

There are some benefits that include food from the cafeteria.

The work culture at GDC facility is terrible. 30% of employees do most of the job, and 70% are employees who don't focus on specific task accomplishments, thanks to management sponsorship.

Human resources department does not protect the employee. Once you have an issue with a manager, you can be laid off without any consideration about your performance, regardless if you show clear reports about your results.

It depends a lot on your manager to have a fair amount of balance between your personal life and work life. Be careful to be part of the 30% that actually perform, otherwise you are fine. There is very small room for innovation.

Intel in general is not doing very well these days, so don't expect to have your job safe, etc., at all. You can be a candidate for layoffs at any time with no valid reason.

Do you want to have a more challenging position, even working in the USA? Forget about it. You need the blessing from all (Mexican) management to apply anywhere in the organization, no matter how capable you are or how hard you work to get a position.

Once I asked a senior employee if Intel was a fun ride. Her answer was an elegant no.

Open your eyes. There are a lot of good managers, but there are also a lot of inefficient managers (very inefficient) across the organization.

Be more vigilant in keeping people based on meritocracy instead of management perception. Most of the time, perceptions are wrong because, as I stated, 30% of people do their jobs, including management.

Honor your code of conduct. It seems like the code of conduct is optional for most employees; it's really a shame.

If employees are working a significant amount of extra time, be kind enough to open a dialogue to get some sort of payment for that.

Please don't lay off pregnant women. This is a common practice to date, and it's not nice.
