Intel is nowhere near the company I thought it was when I applied for the job here. For me, this company is a disappointment in every sense of the word.

Training (lack thereof).
Easy. Both the management and the culture.
There are so many layers of sheeple managers who have no business being in charge of people. Just completely incompetent. They exist to manage up and get bonuses. They don’t care about Intel’s success or improving at all. They’re just Office Space leeches. Sad.
Then the culture. Everyone is scared of being laid off and is just hoping to somehow slide through and retire without learning anything new or competing in the real world outside. They either hide or attach themselves to one of those managers above and ride that train as far as they can.
This is why Intel has already seen its best days. No hype can bring it back. The risk to remove the cancer would probably be too much for the company.
@3onm+1j3xR7hQ. ACT 2015-16 was a complete disaster for Intel. Thanks to BK, the company never recovered.
On the mid 2010s, Intel was struggling with making process technology traction. And then they threw ACT into the mix and 12,000 mostly-experienced people exited the company (I still remember seeing a terminated employees four patent plaques in one of those “RIF dumpsters” — imagine that loss multiplied many times over). Add in the non-X86 distractions (drones, etc.), the prioritization of DEI over excellence, and the dwindling of the one-time work-from-home-PC-purchase phenomenon and you end up here in October 2022 with a very uncertain future and a stock price in the mid-20s.
Pat -- worst egoistic CEO
Intel was an awesome company until they started promoting southeast Asians into management. Most of them are worthless and jacked up the politics.
Regardless of what people saying negatively, I’m proud to work at intel
The biggest disappointment is the people, except in a handful of cases there is nobody I would admit to knowing outside of work.
State the org you’re complaining about.
90% of orgs at Intel add no value.
If you aren’t making x86 CPUs, you don’t matter to Intel’s bottom line.
@1gkk+1j3xR7hQ - Lol! Are you HR? Keep ignoring, that won't change a damn thing. Fix the problem while you can. The longer you ignore, the more devastating your collapse will be. yes, Intel will survive because of the Chips act and government bailout. But still you'd have to let lots of people go. The nepotism, Indians hiring Indians, People hiring their own family members for a quick green card. These are all true and you know it. Most people would just half a-s their way to a paycheck. These are not BS. You have a huge part of your labor that just sit on their a-s and do minimal work. The cost of service is so high, that's why your cashflow sucks. These are open secret. Any other company would've been bankrupt by now. Intel survives because of govt handouts.
Can you please share how much being paid from haters to spread BS? I may find a better job for you
I’m a depressed RCG. Most of my coworkers are the most apathetic, lazy, clueless people I have ever met. I came here to do good work and within a year all of that energy is completely gone. I can’t wait to leave.
