Intel Corporation Reviews

Pros

Working at Intel is what you make of it. You have the opportunity to advance in your career and grow. I have held 4 different positions at Intel ranging from entry level technician to Network Engineer in the last 12 years. I have worked in AV, Lan support, VOIP, network Security, Wireless and other technologies. It has been great!

Cons

As I said before, Intel is what you make of it. Some people work tons of hours and kill themselves. This is not necessary at Intel, but you have to learn to push back and manage your workload.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work focusing on our customers and taking care of employees.

Pros

IMC is one of the best pay masters in Bangalore with lots of additional benefits/perks. The kind of work that you will get here is much superior than what normally you get in chipset domain with service companies in India. Every single person counts in this company and you would not be treated like computer, chair, etc or I mean to say just as a resource. Overall I would recommend this company strongly.

Cons

Some policies are still not so clear as the company was Infineon originally and now after Intel take over, things are in transition mode yet.

Pros

Salary, Chanllenging work envrionment. Flexible working hours.

Cons

Long hours, demanding boss. Corporate politics.

Pros

Leader, new opportunities, time and money to explore

Cons

development and carrier is mostly based on networks not on skills

Advice to Senior Management

re youth senior management, decision makers are at least 20 years with Intel and do not know the outside world

Pros

The company does a great job to support and take care of it's employees. Whether it's career advancement and or education, to health, to work life balance. The two managers I had the pleasure to work with supported me and my work and fought for me when my contract was up to keep me longer. I defnitely felt like my work made a positive impact on the company.

Cons

Intel has a unique culture of work hard and play hard. That culture tends to get caught up in over thinking and too many meetings. It could be difficult to get any actual work done.
If you don't like being walled in by gray cubes you won't like working there.

Pros

Pay and benefits are good. Work/life balance is good.

Cons

Since Intel is not growing it's workforce too much anymore, it is difficult to move up the ladder.

Cons

Slightly lower compensation as compared to software companies in the bay area

Pros

The technology itself is mildly interesting.

Cons

The Sales Director is an engineer and has no sales background. Management is extremely condescending, non-communicative and very disorganized. The person put in charge of mentoring me wouldn't return my emails and phone calls for 3 weeks - and I was working remotely from home. No training was offered until week 6, and I was forced to present at IT shows in front of 75 MSPs with absolutely no training or preparation. When they finally gave me one hour of training, my boss IM'd me when I asked a question, "Don't show weakness." He didn't care if I actually learned, just wanted himself to look good. The order process is archaic and fulfillment is dicey. I started to lose confidence that we could actually deliver what we were selling. This is not an easy sell or ramp-up. Travel is required almost every week. All in all a horrible experience and this was the worst treatment in my professional career.

Advice to Senior Management

Create a training program and simplify the order process. Employee surveys would open your eyes to what is happening in the sales department.
