Contract workers, beware of Intel
Contract workers, beware of Intel
Intel looks good on a resume. It's big enough so if your contract is renewed for the maximum of 18 months, you don't have to worry about getting paid, like some small start-ups. There are 20 layers of management that are all budget conscious, so if you like making out forms instead of working, you are all set!
Unfortunately, temp workers (contingent workers, green badges) get no respect, even less than in any other company I've worked in. They are not allowed to attend meetings, except when your first-level manager really likes you. They are told nothing and given no resources.
