Intel

• Flexible hours. Employees can work from home, as long as they get agreement from their superior.

• Higher starting salary compared to other MNCs in the same area.

• Nearest parking, which is always full. If you complain, upper management will ask you to park at another parking lot, which is 750m away, and take a shuttle bus back to your building. The whole process can easily take up 30 minutes.

• No more space in the building. Previously, engineers could have both a cubicle and a workbench in the lab. Then, engineers could only choose one. Now, they have to share the one with others.

• Excessive layers of management. If you are a fresh graduate engineer and expect to become a corporate-level manager in a few years, it's better to stop dreaming.

• Lack of technical managers. Most managers are people managers, and they hardly understand engineers' daily activities from a technical aspect, causing the evaluation of subordinates to be difficult and purely based on the team lead's feedback.

• Accept whatever is given to us. The relationship between US and Non-US sites is like headquarter-subsidiary relationships, and thus, it is hardly for Non-US sites to actually grow.

• You get only a 3% increment even if you get excellent in your appraisal, so make sure you are happy with your current salary for the rest of your life (unless you move to a new company).

Admit mistakes. Take corrective actions, even if they are painful. Continue monitoring the situation. Do not repeat history again.
