Cons

My CCG teammates at IMC Bengaluru weren't willing to share their knowledge/experience with the engineering workflow. Work is sometimes stagnated, not necessarily due to lack of intellectual ability, but often due to undue pressure to outdo one another. I now think the incentive structure didn't favor collaborative behaviors; rather, it put undue competition among teammates.

My manager, for whatever reason, was not comfortable or supportive in providing feedback from lower levels to higher management regarding compliance with the engineering workflow.

Pure people managers don't want (or are unable) to understand the intricacies of actual engineering work and are just hoping for good results. It also appeared to me that they just wanted to appear bossy when their views/decisions were challenged in engineering meetings.

Advice to Management

Regular yearly restructuring of old Infineon Mobile business' higher-level management groups (MCG and later CCG) has diluted the focus. The quicker the values that Intel Corporation is known for are imbibed into the management of IMC subsidiary, the better.

Please combine the present casual and medical leaves into one set, so that people who are healthier are rewarded by opting for at least the same days of absence as the unhealthier ones.
