Focal process

Advice to Senior Management

Rethink focal so that in order for one person to get a promotion someone else has to get a CAP. I find most everyone I work with is doing a great job and some deserve promotions, but someone doesn't deserve a CAP just for them to get it.

Pros

Industry leading salary
Benefits package best in the sector
Great people to work with, including managers and co-workers
Advancement potential is unlimited

Work load is sometimes very high
Expectations are high no matter what the workload is at the time

Advice to Senior Management

Management does a fairly good job at letting employees know about upcoming events but sometimes there are rumors that do not get adressed. Much better now that Paul Otellini is CEO.

Pros

In my opinion Intel is flexible with my schedule. It is a reputable company that is looking to be pretty stable.

Cons

To big to be agile.

Pros

Get to work with the best engineering brains
Highly tolerant of various working styles. Very flat (non-hierarchical) workplace
Tremendous diversity (not just of the cultural kind, but of the problem solving kind)

Cons

It is a big company and has some characteristics of that. Sometimes there are too many stakeholders and managers with their own axes to grind & little fiefdoms and turfwars to wage. Not for the weak-willed

Like in many other places.. no pain, no gain. You have to clock some crazy hours to be successful.

Advice to Senior Management

Overall.. great place to work. Tremendous job of cultivating fresh minds.
Advice: Greater meanness needed to survive in the smartphone era. We need the street to love us & we have to challenge the business units to better performance

Promos get tough as you advance
Always felt like layoffs are around the corner
