I didn't have any luck getting an internal position. Is it just me or does Intel no longer prefer to hire internally?
Are people really leaving?
I see a lot of internal movement. People being able to negotiate out of cycles and bidding wars internally I f you are the right candidate.....
What does executive VP mean?
What is the point of promoting a VP to executive VP if they already report to the CEO?
Totally Lost my confidence
Pat promoted Raja to EVP. All of the bozos in old SSG (the new software group,) got promoted. They don’t even understand software. All of them. Instead of fixing the weak, toxic top people, Pat has been promoting them. What a shame. I don’t have... — read more
Is The Jones Farm JF3 Still A Sick Building
Folks: I worked in JF3 (2nd floor) from 2004 to 2016 (device driver and Linux security engineer). There were periods where I would be very sleepy, especially in the afternoons, in my cubicle, which on the portion of the JF3 2nd floor, not too far... — read more
How hard is it to get a comparable job with higher pay?
Those that I know have gotten higher pay in other companies haven't really found a job with similar duties. I would like to find a comparable job.

Forget about work-life balance
Ever since I came here, I no longer have any work-life balance and working here leaves me very little time for family. I thought that in time I would get used to it and manage to organize myself more efficiently, but it wasn't like that. The only... — read more
I don't know what all of you are still doing there
I left Intel six months ago for a sizable bump in base compensation and fewer responsibilities - not to mention the drastic reduction in the amount of stress. If you are any good at what you do, you can find a much better job at a much better company... — read more
VGA text only or Xe
VGA graphics or the dumpster fire that us Xe? I’d take VGA.
When good press is actually terrible news, so stupid is Intel!
Talk big: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/ireland-milestone-fab-34.html#gs.w75szi But in reality “There is an announcement from Intel that they just moved an EUV tool from Oregon to Ireland to be the first EUV tool in Fab 34... — read more
Great place to start a career
This is in my opinion a good place to start a career. However, it seems that this is not the place for those who expect that they will be able to significantly grow their career here. Quick poll for everyone: How has your career progressed here?
Always jet-setting and begging is Pat
Washington, Germany, Japan, India and now Taiwan, always with hat in hand an on his knees as a man of faith how appropriate. Doesn’t sound like a voice of confidence in his internal development roadmap if he is begging in Taiwan... — read more
Intel Delays Arc A-Series GPU Equipped Laptops Till End of Q2 Despite Launching Them In Q1 2022

This is the only company I have worked at so far where a star employee can be someone who does not deliver results and does not meet or exceed targets. At one time, the star employees here were extremely talented employees, standout performers. In... — read more
What happened to employees in Russia?
Is it suspension (which likely will be back to normal)? or total shutdown ? This is madness
Is Risk-taking no longer an Intel value?
Are any of the values previously noted on the badge even practiced anymore? This is where the Company is failing. Pat - are you listening? Do something before it’s too late.
Job offer from competitors
At first I was very happy when I got the job offer from direct competitors. It's not easy to go to work for competitors after many years spent here though. Maybe for some it is? Intel easily gives up people to competitors and doesn't do... — read more

Fanatical Greedy and full of hubris is Pat

Scary Future
Intel is late to respond to a demand spike that has already happened. The best thing intel can do right now is stay lean, and push hard on innovation. The United States is looking at a recession in the near future and Intel is running a very... — read more
Intel CEO earned $178.5M in 2021, more than 1,700 times average worker pay
Are there any Intel employees that would like to share their thoughts on this?
Do we need the office?
Do we need to go back in to offices? Does anyone (non-manager) want to?
It was all good when we agreed
I regret that I ever cared about this company. The one who cares cannot always be a yes man. After hearing the biggest nonsense from the manager, I couldn’t just ignore it like that. I tried to explain why I disagree, all while staying calm and... — read more

A lot of the PIP posts are very negative
I am referring to the post below about PIP. It is not true that PIP always means that they will get rid of you and that you will lose your job. I beat PIP. It was very stressful, but I'm still here. Also, I know a person who once survived PIP and... — read more
Where does Intel still beat AMD?
Let's discuss. I hate when I see the possibility of Intel becoming less and less relevant due to wrong decisions.
Intel will never be relevant in advanced nodes
You can talk and build all them shells and you can get on your knees and blow all the ASML executives, but you don’t got any tools Pat “By 2023, TSMC is expected to have a total of 133 EUV lithography machines, while Intel has 20”
Kids right out of college are learning the wrong lessons
Too many are developing wrong habits from the get-go. Since for many this is the first job, they think this is how it's supposed to be. All they know is the Intel of today: the toxic place where hard work is rewarded with more work and brown nosing... — read more
