The millennials I know (quite a few, due to my son and DIL and their many friends all being in that demographic) are avoiding Intel. My DIL and her best friend both had Intel opportunities and turned them down. When I asked why (I could have gotten a referral bonus!) they said they had researched the culture, the 2015 layoffs, focal and standing in the industry in terms of future technologies and trends. They both declined, based mostly on culture.
Also, millennials are not looking for lifetime employment at a single company. That is so Last Century (mid century in fact). My career consultant told me (and I believe it) that these days, being TOO LONG in one place is a bad thing on your resume. For Gen X and Gen Y, average tenure at any one place was about 5 years. For millennials, it is tracking at 18-month to 2 years, she says.
Meanwhile, if you do want a tech company and the best pay, the top-notch young are going to Google, Apple, Amazon--anyplace but Intel as a first choice. It might be different if they are in a captive location and don't want to move for whatever reason, but Intel in Folsom or even Hillsboro is a dead end.
When I was inside, it seemed just about every intern in my area was an employee offspring or other close relative, and of course they became the next RCGs. Unless an intern really screws up, they are virtually guaranteed a job, and I see that disproportionately going to 'family.'
