Employees complain that this company could do much better, that there is a lot of room for improvement, however, I'm wondering if perhaps the leadership does not want this company to be great? ....no matter how strange it sounds
2021 Year End Update
Let's hear your year end analysis of Intel. Don't forget to use the buzzwords invigorated, launched, achieved, and ramped up in your comments. This should be a good read. LOL.
Anyone else notice the strange atmosphere in manufacturing (you know which fab(s) I'm talking about)?
I've been at Intel more than a decade and even when we weren't ramping up the atmosphere was always upbeat and somewhat positive...everyone busy and getting sh-t done and taking names in the progress. Now, it feels like walking into a funeral home. ... — read more

Is the Supply Chain org really that bad?
Geesh! I work in a BU and every 2-3 weeks, I work with the supply chain people. It seems like every week since early 2020, some one is leaving Intel from the supply chain org every week. Is it the management or just better money and work at other... — read more

Awful new hires
Apparently, we're past the days when only the best wanted to work at Intel and we could choose who to hire. Our team got two new members in the last six months (after three people walked away) and I have no idea who hired them and why. They have no... — read more

Is it too late for Intel to get back on track?
Three years is a crazy long time in technology. Miss a couple cycles and you go from leader to laggard and maybe worse. Only thing saving Intel is limited capacity of AMD or Intel would have been finished already! If AMD had all the 5nm capacity for... — read more

Pat doesn’t have a credible plan

Government money and big spends will end in Layoffs
Intel’s failure isn’t a result of lack of money or cost structure issues. They have had the margins which are the envy of the industry. Need another billion or so was never a problem. The issues are deep and wide. It started with decades of... — read more

Acquisition failures
I had a feeling that the acquisition of Mobileye would end up like this even before Intel announced it. This again leads to the question why does this company has so many acquisition failures? Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like the... — read more
