Great companies have great leaders but Intel does not seem to have even single one.

Still waiting on mine. Can someone say what's the last day to sign and return to get the ISP package?

Take the package. Try finding a better opportunity for the next two months. If satisfied take it, if not then get back in Intel. I believe they will start needing people in other teams very soon due to lack of man power and increased projects. That... — read more 

60/962 qualified for ISP. Average age of ISP 47. Average age of not selected 39. What do you guys think? According to these numbers another 40 will likely loose their job from VSPs. Have you done a similar analysis for your title and Business Unit?
