Indifferent after 10 years
Indifferent after 10 years
If you're fresh out of school or nearing retirement.
They seem to intentionally weed folks out after a few years. They lose the people they need and keep the ones they should shed. There is no concern about people burning themselves out until they do burn out. Very political environment, and each department seems to have their own versions of the once vaunted Intel values. Layoffs occur quite frequently, except they're called "redeployments." It's quite exhaustive having to deal with the constant downsizing of groups. Tends to throw money at projects up front, but then the money and support trickle away until you find yourself with a skeleton team that is still expected to deliver.
Stop the politics. Every manager seems to cultivate their own personal kingdom. This was just exhausting to me.

Intel Interview Experiences
Staff Software Engineer
Contacted first by a recruiter, followed by a four-hour on-site interview. No phone screen.
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 Technician
The process was fairly easy and took about 3 weeks from submitting the application to being hired. First, there was a technical phone interview, and then a panel interview two weeks later.
