Intel, rapidly moving at the speed of a slug!
A very competitive high-tech environment. Lots of opportunity for those new to the industry to learn.
Dog-eat-dog world... too many management layers. Although meritocracy is always talked about, the rules only allow 10-15% of employees to get a promotion. In the last several years, the average rate of salary increase has been below the inflation rate, less than 5%!
In order to stay competitive, certain projects have to get nixed.
Why waste so much money on the stupid Itanium series, while at the same time chocking other projects that could potentially yield much more benefit?
Is this a pride thing? Some sort of behind-the-scenes agreement with HP preventing you to do this?
The SET initiative, which was supposed to address some of the issues Intel is grappling with, is in its 4th year now, and the cutbacks and bleeding continue.
Most employees have lost their respect for the current senior management.
Intel needs to bring in professional business managers from outside, like many other successful companies... enough in-breeding!
