Easiest company for those stupid and political managers.

So big deal. The nerds should learn how to market their tech and the talkers should use AI to get a good understanding of what they are selling. Just cross pollinate and move on.
Every time people with inside knowledge writes the truth, they are getting negative votes. There seems to be deliberate effort to down vote every truthful comment.
OP, your comment is spot on but it is not news. You must be a relatively new to Intel. Intel has been a place for talkers and an absolute he-l for technical people and doers for a very very long time. Just read the posts from 2015 or even earlier. Most of the Intel Fellows and senior fellows, principle engineers are weaker than some of the cheap marketing people I have encountered during my career outside Intel. One senior fellow, Genevieve bell, had an anthropology degree and was able to reach the highest technical level at Intel. What does it tell you? Basically technical levels at Intel have been a joke. When you have these types of people at the highest levels, do you think that they will allow good technical people survive. No, they immediately start making your life he-l and bully you and get rid of you, it was actually worse when Intel had the rank and yank system. Still just pay attention to the friends and family support systems and observe who gets laid off during layoffs. Just leave. Trust me. It is a waste of your life and skill to stay there.
Intel has been full of shysters. When the cpu gravy train was running, it did not matter. Once the gravy train stopped, then the house of cards collapsed. You cannot clean the pile of sh-t at Intel. It has been years in the making. You need full blood transfusion, all organ transplants… you might as well start over. You can’t fix it. For you, there are other better tech companies. Don’t waste your time.
Yeah, its true... the quality of management has gone down hill so fast. Their positions aren't justified, they have little contribution, sh-t just rolls downhill, and they bark jump higher to everybody while there have been so many cuts just to see who else falls through the cracks. They are going to have much experienced people left. I see them leave each week. I plan to start look full time next year. It's just not the same company anymore and I don't think there is any near term recovery if any at all.
“Intel is the easiest place to work for talkers and low technical people, while hard working talents are slaved and bullied”
This is SO true! At least in the fab side culture. If you are a quiet nerdy type who just does the work diligently and conscientiously behind the scenes, you will just get bullied and given more work. If you are a confident articulate talker and know how to stand up for yourself, you will become a manager.
@ce holy sh-t this is spot on...at one point my shift manager and his brother in law were running the entire show. When the shift manager was laid off I was fu--ing celebrating excessively as if I'd just scored a touchdown in the super bowl.
Great. Let move on
@ct Very true!
@ay On top of that, Intel kicked experienced and talented engineers to the curb (ACT) for the stupidest reasons, and many of those engineers went to work for the competition.
The company dug its own grave, and the stock is way overvalued.
It is like the Stanford prison experiments.
That was how Intel lost its ways. So many talent people quit and worked for Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Ampere, TSMC, and etc.
My ex manager could be an intern after 20yrs of service
That's why Intel management keeps getting let into successfully executing companies. They are purposefully sacrificing some quality for a buck by allowing Intel C-suite inside. Bain or McKinsey advised them to do it.
