Intel Employee Reviews for Engineer

What do you like about working at Intel?

"It was mildly interesting, testing preproduction chips for problems before customers see them. And many tech minded people."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Seems this place will hire people and see if they can survive the abuse the first year. I'd just rent an apartment so you don't get stuck unloading a condo if you do get canned."

What don't you like about working at Intel?

"Even though I had this job to do it seemed that other departments didn't really want to know that I found problems with the chips they designed. Also the fact that my job title (grade 8) was a company secret made it hard to identify my peers and compare my work against theirs. A college who I thought outranked me turned out to be one grade below me. Also the churn of my bosses didn't help. Once my hiring manager was gone, nobody had any investment in my success."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Make it more clear who my peers actually are, and get rid of the sillyness of secret job titles. And keep the hiring manager paired with teh new hire longer than 3 months."

"Great company."

"Good career builder."
