Apolitical competency is a threat to the nepotist empire and has to be dispensed with.
Yes comparatively it could be leader by percentage of incompetence and inefficiency by large margin.
Politics, nepotism, 360 popularity focal and re-hiring that made more bad material to stay and good go away.
Yes, 50% are incompetent. We got people joined seven years ago and still do not know much. Most of these people just talk and makes his manager think he is smart. The managers do not have good technical knowledge, and just promote people who talks. There is also discrimination that people speaks native English get promoted quicker than non-native speaker.
Broken culture without good leader and bunch of nepotistic groups produce spiraling descent into depths of incompetence producing mostly failures. I did a mistake and stayed for more than five years.
You can't help Intel, just leave to any of the top companies as I did and am much more productive working with competent people making me much happier. Off course, there is no ideal world, it is all relative, but difference is big compared to Intel now.

You are not a fresh start. All new kids here are arrogant and competitive, back stabbing when they just learn something. They are f...ing around like they used to do at their college, just to get recognised by their ignorant managers. So you are not one of them... god try bro!
@tdg Spot on. There is a reason intel management is obsessed with visibility, bloviation being a substitute for merit.
At Intel, It's not what you know, it's not even who you know, it's which Indian village you come from and how you use it for political gain.
"Lying and deception is rewarded which than leads to widespread incompetence across the company"
Couldn't agree more with this statement.

Arrogance, ignorance, and incompetence. Not a pretty mix of personality traits in the best of situation. But inside Intel you're superstar. Sad but true.
It happens at Intel incompetence is rewarded more often than not
My humble advise please avoid joining Intel in early stage of your career. I made the mistake and didn't wish other to do the same.
