Intel Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I have worked at Intel in the Media IP Simulation team for 4+ years. It's a good team for someone with software background looking to get experience on video codecs. Intel is a good company to work for. However Intel is not the most competitive company when it comes to compensation. With the fast moving mobile market, Intel doesn't offer the best work life balance it used to offer before."

"Intel may be a good location to begin your career, but it is not a place to remain. Politics are extreme, and the over-emphasis of meritocracy make this an environment which discourages teamwork. The people who get ahead are senseless braggarts who invest more in self-promotion that in actual progress."

"I worked at Intel for 1.5 years as a contractor and really enjoyed the people and workplace amenities. I so wished that I could have used the spa, gym and sports fields available at our campus but alas, those were for blue badges only. They also had game rooms, and kitchenettes w/ a random combination of a: soda fountain, coffee station, vending machines, self-service convenience store."

"I have worked for Intel for 9 years. The climate inside Intel varies a lot from one organization to another. I liked my group, most of my colleagues are easy to get along with, most managers have been fair and considerate."

"Best company I have worked for."

"It's a great place to work and I wish that I never left!!!"

"Good location to work and gain experiences."

"It's a cool place to work. If you are into design and building systems, this is the place. But if your destiny is become a super coder, please choose some other company. And last but not least, its a great place to work with a lot of diverse roles and opportunities."

"I've worked for Intel during my internship and it was a great learning and working experience."

"The contracts I have worked on in Intel could be characterized as death marches. Poor lifecycle management, pretend Agile environments."

"Good company. Main downside is resource requirements are always shifting."

"Intel is a very strange company that has suspect senior management, and this eliminates opportunities to move up. I would say that there is a systematic deceit to employees. This is not a technology company - it is a banking company whose stock has gone up due to dividends, not good products."

"It is a nice place to work at."

"Good company overall, but the particular site I worked at seems to be short on test software developers. The testing/validation team therefore often had no work to do and many got laid off. I asked someone who still works there (one year after the mass layoff) and he says the layoffs are still going on."

"The good: Ability to work on cutting edge technology pushing the boundary of computing. The Work can be very interesting, unsolved problems. Participate/contribute to academia. The bad: Workplace could use a few upgrades. Need to "clean house." Some teams can work more efficiently with less people. Some people shoulder a lot more weight than others."
