When did AMD become a preferred employment option to Intel? We just lost two members of our team (two people Intel should have fought hard to keep instead of just letting them walk away) to AMD and I am still stumped. It used to be that people from... — read more

I see people have started to catch on
I saw a few comments in several threads that indicate people are starting to catch on when it comes to Intel and what a cr---y place it is to work. Good. The fewer people who want to work here, the faster we'll get to a point when there'll be nobody... — read more

Is there a worse place to be an engineer?
Before Intel, I worked at several companies and I thought that Intel would be a place where I would learn a lot, progress and enjoy my work. Now I already think that each of the previous companies was a better place to work. I believe there are a lot... — read more

Is it still safe to relocate?
Years ago if I was offered a promotion but I had to move cities for it I wouldn't have thought about it for long before accepting. Today, though, I can't make the decision. I've heard of people who were laid off less than a year after moving and I... — read more

I ran into a former coworker last week
He was laid off nearly a decade ago. He was shocked when I told him what the situation was like here right now. He still only had the best to say about Intel. He made sure to note that it was the best job he ever had and that he enjoyed every day of... — read more

How much have series of layoffs harmed Intel?
The layoff I got along with some fantastic people that worked here deeply disappointed me. In the end it all turned out well because I found a much better job very quickly. Now I think all those layoffs that Intel was giving had the worst effect on... — read more

The competitors are getting stronger?
Does it seem to you too? If I were to go to a competing company, there I would find all the best people who worked here and who left (and are still leaving). One of the worst things that could have happened to Intel is to let those people go, because... — read more
Too much stress
I know stress is unavoidable at any workplace for various reasons, but there is such a thing as too much stress and Intel is a master in that department. Stressing over layoffs, unrealistic goals, whether your manager will have a good or bad day and... — read more
Beware if Intel asks you to sign anything
Everyone remember what you signed when you started at Intel and BE VERY CAREFULLY it they ask you to sign anything new, consult with a lawyer before you sign. Remember at anytime they can layoff or find some technicality to FIRE YOU!
Nobody likes the smartest person in the room?
Here at Intel, as well as at the previous company I worked for, I noticed that people just don’t accept the “smartest people in the room” type of people. I used to think it was about big ego and people who want to feel superior, however, more and... — read more

Is Intel still getting rid of older employees?
I was laid off around three years ago. I won't lie, it took me nearly a year to find a job that didn't cut my pay in half compared to what I used to get here. Still, I did find it and I can say I'm doing well once again. I do wonder sometimes if... — read more

Not easily replaceable?
Those who are the most talented are leaving. It seems that Intel doesn't give great importance to it because they think that all are replaceable. They don’t see it as a loss for the company when a good employee leaves because the job is done... — read more

Intel is not as bad as everybody make it seem

Staying here just because you are reluctant to relocate?

You have to be realistic, there is no ideal company. I changed a few companies before I came to Intel and I was missing something in each. In one the atmosphere was great, but the pay was a real disappointment. In another I had good health insurance... — read more
