Intel in a nutshell:
1. Flexible work hours for many groups outside of the main silicon
design/manufacturing groups. Inside the big silicon groups (DPG, TMG,
etc.) life can be hellishly borg-like (long hours, very "process
oriented" read: bureaucratic, and fairly stressful).
2. Many well-educated and intelligent people.
3. Very few good/great leaders or managers. This place has a SERIOUS
shortage of leadership. Take a nerdy engineer and make him a Manager
because he's successfully written code and you have a recipe for the
Intel Advancement process... It's the "Peter Principle" gone mad.
4. Grey cubes...Very impersonal physical environment.
5. Decent, but definitely NOT market-leading base pay. We have a
philosophy that keeps base pay BELOW market average, but then attempts
to counter with competitive variable pay/bonus programs...This was
great
until 2001, but has sucked since then as we've watched take-home pay
diminish (due to inflation and increasing costs of Medical Benefits).
6. Decent health benefits.
7. Outstanding educational benefits.
I work at Intel because I want to live in Oregon. Intel pays more than
most other large Oregon Corporations. If you come here, you can plan
on
feeling like a cog in a big machine. However, that also affords the
ability to enjoy the mountains and ocean less than an hour away.
