Don’t know about ALL other companies but Intel offers lower health insurance, more pta, longer parental leave than many competitors. Only reason you can complain is the incompetence of management and the limited opportunities for advancement. — read more
Intel HR
With Sandra in new role, hope Intel appoints a HR leader with HR experience. Many good HR younger talent left Intel due to having terrible internal HR leadership. Will Pat bring in talent that left or someone new to Intel? Any guesses?
Ultimate irony of which the result will be LAYOFFS
@gxw+1bRioNHK Intel was on top of the world hiring the best, innovating and just plain being smarter and executing better than anyone else and crushing them all. The list is long of whom they’ve beaten: IBM, DEC, Motorola, and so many... — read more

How much value is left in Intel's name?
Intel’s pay/ benefits is already below industry average as they still think that their name has value but there are far better places to work and with higher salaries to boot. I also think top dogs overestimate the value of Intel’s name. I often... — read more
Pay/Benefit Cits
If Intel no longer is producing cutting edge chips, they can't charge a premium for them. This usually translates to pay and benefilt cuts dut to lower magin. Excpect this to happen. Maybe not soon, but I see it coming.
Early retirement
Does anyone have any insights on whether Intel will offer early retirement? At this point, I would like nothing more than early retirement.

Intel does not teach relevant skills
