Pros

Great company with a 20% work-remotely perk and flexible vacation days up to 4 weeks/year.

Lucky enough to have some flexible and good managers.

Cons

Intel HR has been promoting diversity, diversity, and diversity. But, seriously, on my first day at the office, I was lost. I thought I was working in the Bangalore office, not San Diego.

The issue with this is that people often speak their own language at work, which is unlawful according to HR. And how can people who don't belong to this ethnic group be sure that they are not discriminated against during performance reviews?

This flaw is probably causing failures in this BU.

As a company, Intel always prefers to hire in India instead of other places. Seriously, there are talents there and cheap costs. But if you play cheap, you will get bad results. It is happening now. You can't deliver tech as complex as 5G if you play cheap. You get what you paid for, and it's costing employees their jobs.

Advice to Management
  • Conduct a sweep diversity review of hiring patterns. I can't believe this kind of hiring pattern has been ignored.
