Decent workplace, very diverse. You need to be self-directed. Not always what it seems

Pros

Intel is very well known, and the company certainly has a lot of perks. The cafeteria is great, benefits are okay, but they didn't impact me much as an intern.

Cons

I found myself asked to program things I didn't think were very good ideas in the name of innovation. I mean, what do I know; but criticism wasn't accepted very well.

Not that I hesitated to, just people seemed set in their ways.

The codebase I was assigned to was very bad, a spaghetti code nightmare. I'm glad the internship was only a few months.

Pay scale is pretty fixed. That helps for equality, but not if you want a raise.

Was this helpful?
