Working at Intel
How's working at Intel? I've only read pretty good things, is there anything you don't like? I just applied without a referral and I'm hoping I can still get an interview.
Dont join that shit. Juat like cisco. Total shit
It depends if you work in hardware or software and which group you are planning to join. DM me if you want a referral, I can tell you which groups to avoid. The chances of someone looking at your resume increase by around 95% with a referral.
I work in CCG and cannot recommend Intel as an employer. The executive management is poor and the company is not doing well. The largest business units are saving themselves to prosperity and are in decline or not growing fast enough. I personally don't think that a lot of the big BETS are going to pat off and the competition is getting fierce (which means lower prices for goods shipped, lower revenues and to keep margins up, fewer employees and lower wages. Intel is trying to ship jobs to lower cost GEO'S, so the USA jobs are always at risk. And if you are not a URM, don't even try to apply for a USA job. I really don't recommend Intel. The business is tenuous, the exec and middle management is bad, the HR practices are horrible, and it is a caustic sweat shop.
I find Intel great. Working here has significantly improved my leetcode skills and my future career prospects 😀.
Interesting thought. ..work at Intel until you develop more skills then leave. The number of jobs that meet that ideal are limited and my job is definitely not one of them. I guess that I can say don't work for Intel unless you don't have any other options or that you are infinitely flexible and can leave at a moments notice.
If you're a smart driven person and like the job on offer, take it if you don't find a similar job you might like elsewhere. Intel is a good place to learn if you're hungry and inexperienced. You can always move out if you think your learning curve has gone flat, which a lot of people do.
^^^This. Best advice on this thread.
Don't work in the fab. Nuf said.
Not a good company to work. Directionless.
I agree keep it as last option.. unless you are into semiconductor devices, analog circuits or packaging

Sucks balls. I’m gtfo ASAP
A friend from college who works there says they work you pretty hard, the scheduling is relentless. So work life balance suck and pay is not so good compared to other top tech companies. Other that seems ok.
Good to know, thanks!
Some groups will work you to the bone and with others you'll feel that Intel is a resort. It all depends on the organization. Intel is yuuuge.
