Great work, okay perks, and a lot of open and inclusive communities to engage with and feel part of something bigger. The company is currently pushing to change its outdated culture, which I find exciting but long overdue.
There are a great number of very smart people to learn from and advance your career.
Accountability from all directions! Not just top-down.
Having a good manager is usually down to 'luck', and this can lead to a lot of frustration, career stagnation, lack of acknowledgement, recognition, and promotion, which overall affects the employee retention rate. There needs to be more management accountability from the bottom up and appropriate channels for employees to voice their concerns and be heard for an effective culture transformation.
Promotions are usually very hard to get, even at the lower grades. Furthermore, promotions are limited in count, so belonging to a high-performing team will make it even harder.
I gave my CV when the company came to my university. They interviewed me on-site and, after a few days, invited me to a face-to-face interview. A few days later, I had an HR interview.
It was difficult. Many smart people at Intel were involved. The focus was geared through computer architecture, C/C++, and algorithms and data structures. The manager also asked some puzzle questions.
I had a technical interview over Teams during Covid times. The interviewers (a team lead and two team members) were thoughtful and respectful. They were truly interested in my background, hobbies, and such.
