Cushy workplace now if in corporate horizontal

Sunday, 27 April 2008

Written by: Sad
Accountability & hard work has left the building!
United States

it keeps the local real estate market propped up a bit since they hire so many people

I'm in one of the corporate horizontal service teams. You know the HR, IT, Finance, Marketing, Facilities crowd.

What amazes me is that there has not been a revolt out of the manufacturing teams and design resource base. There you will find teams with their employees subscribing to a work ethic pretty similar to the great growth days. 60 hour weeks aren't uncommon and 70 and 80 hrs do occur during crunches. Flip to a team like IT, and you got 30 hours worked, and maybe 10 hours "telecommuting" in the pottery barn, or workshop. I know so many people that run a second commercial business venture on the side, and the company fosters it. You have people remotely working constantly in these corporate service teams, when they live 5 miles from the office complex. Basically, I see the manufacturing teams subsidizing, and earning the corporate service horizontals a lot of their salary and bonuses. So if you are a TMG dude, hope you like working so hard for someone slacking off elsewhere. You all get the same X% EB now don't you.

Challenging work...Decent Pay. Has enough cash in reserves to keep AMD in check.

Most of the managers I came across at Intel are clueless. You get promotions mostly if you can make a clueless manager feel smart, laugh at all his jokes and sit through all his useless meetings. Intel is too big to catch managers who are con-artist (talk big but deliver nothing). At the end of the day, they will get paid more and hard-working employees will get slashed. Creative employees usually leave Intel or are really unhappy at Intel becaue of stupid managers.

Bad 1 Year of Interning

Saturday, 26 January 2008

Written by: Intern
Validation Intern
United States

Flexibility in hours and work from home allowed a "balanced" life. The benefits were great as an intern (health, dental, retirement account, stock options, discounts) and the salary was definitely a step up from jobs you can get on a college campus. People were friendly and there was always an abundant amount of information you could find from fellow co-workers or other resources within Intel. It is definitely a good place to learn if you find just the right niche.

Working from home isn't all that great if your manager considers it a display of apathy to work. There is no direction and no program for an intern. There is plenty of work to do, but the biggest problem at Intel is that no one will tell you. It's ridiculous that you have to ask the right questions in order to receive work. It is also ridiculous when you have to write your own performance review. If you find yourself in a team that decides they do not want to teach you something because it takes too much time for them to teach you when they can do it themselves for less time, then you should automatically ask for a different assignment; maybe find a different manager. If you never have one on ones with your manager, then you know you will get shafted at the end because your manager will "never have seen you" and decide that you were not present enough to be considered hard working. If you're doing you work and spending extra hours (past five o'clock) to finish projects and even staying past the internship end date, this does not mean anything at all, your boss may not find you "enthusiastic" enough for the job and let you go after the term ends. I have worked two terms at Intel. The first term was horrible because no one wanted to give their time to teach me anything but the manager wanted me back. The second term was horrible because the manager showed no indication of doing a good or bad job, did not push me to do anything, gave me two seconds of his time, and decided I was not Intel-worthy.

Not What it Used to Be

Great benefits - good salary. Co-workers are great to work with and just want to do a great job.

Management is clueless since the bubble bust at the beginning of the decade. Layoffs, vague statements about the future, constant sense of insecurity and complete forgetfulness of what made Intel, Intel (known as the "Intel Values") has made Intel just another big company to work for rather than "a great place to work".

Intel is managed horribly

Thursday, 29 November 2007

Written by: jelly

United States

Good folks in the lower ranks.

Upper and middle management are inept and plentiful. CEO, CIO, and CFO all fail stockholders (and their employees) regularly. Each manager gets promoted and rated (first to last) on the number of folks under them. Therefore each manager builds the biggest kingdom. This worked great until the CFO realized the CIO had 3x as many people as necessary. Now the CIO is lying every 6 months telling each round of layoffs will 'probably' be the last. The CIO can't even manage his own weight problem, so I really don't see how they think he could manage a 7000 head division.

Only the blind and heartless love it.

I used to like it for the team work and focus on goals...

1. Intel's hiring procatices...they hire foreign nationals in order to bind hancuffs on them so they turn into leagal slaves...and they do.
2. Now Intel micromanages goals; change goals; dash hopes of employees; focus on the rat race to the point that they aren't even working on real goals. There is no inovation in this company anymore. Management is chasing their tail trying to look good and sacrificing employees to stay in their position.

Intel Great Place to Work (Most of the time)

Intel promotes owning your own employability. The sky's the limit if you put in the effort.

Knee jerk decisions sometimes seem to override logical ones. Some of the decision making based on Andy's "Only the Paranoid Survive" seem to go a little to the extreme.

I like the fact Intel makes a lot of efforts in developing it's employees. ee's at Intel, has much freedom for their initiatives and ideas.

Job security level at work is low- especially due to AMD battles. Very minimal promotion opportunities.
