A typical big corporation at the end of its dominance
A typical big corporation at the end of its dominance
Huge cash flows, total job security for high-level tech personnel, good pay (a very comprehensive bonus system), and time-off flexibility.
Ineffective upper management with aptly demonstrated inability to break out into new markets. Middle management focused entirely on own career growth. Widely spread nepotism. Lack of growth opportunities for technical workers. Propaganda-like communication style between upper management and the rank-and-file.
Highly recommend reading "Losing Faith: How the (Andy) Grove Survivors Led the Decline of Intel's Corporate Culture" for a great inside look at the company culture.

Staff Software Engineer
It was over a decade ago, and mine was not a typical hiring process. I had specialized domain knowledge that is rare in India. The hiring manager knew me and sought me out through a headhunter. Hence, it was a simple conversation—not an interview!
Manufacturing Operator
Phone call interview with 2 people. The last 30 minutes focused on basic physical and chemistry questions. They were keen on understanding why I am leaving my current job, which was pretty easy to explain for my situation.
