Swindon, Gloucestershire, South West England, England

Current Employee – been working at Intel Corporation

ProsThe people you will be working with are genrally good, the location is great and convenient for M4 canteen is excellent there is a thriving social life its always busy and there is plenty of variety.

ConsThe management are not that good at either directing or managing giving the impression of inexperience. The offices are made like cube world which is fine if you like working in a "pig pen" but for most people is unpleasant. For a technology company they use some of the worst computer equipment I have used at any company I have ever worked for, every employee gets a laptop but generally they are at least three years old and of an extremely inferior spec.

Advice to Senior ManagementSimply learn to mange properly and respect the experience and skills of your staff, and of course buys some up to date hard ware.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Intel Corporation

ProsMany different roles within the company, many different customers of different sizes and strategic significance, Intel is an influential company which opens doors, strong exposure to big business, freedom to travel as needed, exciting new technologies.

ConsBeing a relatively flat organisation it is hard to get positional promotions. Intel is a true manufacturing company and as such many of its internal practices are very mechanical, including things like the annual pay review. In Europe it seems that Intel pays less for the same positions in other companies.

Advice to Senior ManagementBe nice. Look after your employees. Be humble. Make sure you keep the workers empowered.

Swindon, Gloucestershire, South West England, England

Former Employee – worked at Intel Corporation

ProsWorking in a world class organisation

ConsCan be way too political - you NEED to have a good manager

Advice to Senior ManagementNeed to inject some REAL passion back in to the company. Too many people advance just by playing a blatantly sycophantic game. What you really need to recognise and reward genuinely passionate people.

Swindon, Gloucestershire, South West England, England

Former Employee – worked at Intel Corporation

ProsGreat name to work for, used to pay big bonuses, good food at the canteen. There are quite a few opportunities for working with the latest in technology and to travel between various offices and clients. Work conditions are very comfortable, diversity is excellent, work hours are 9 to 6.

ConsToo much politics inside the company. English management style is awful, unfair and judgemental

Advice to Senior ManagementMove on!

Current Employee – been working at Intel Corporation

ProsGreat pay and bonuses. They paid for health insurance for me for the summer. They really tried to take care of their employees.

ConsInterns and even full-time employess didn't have a permanent place to work. "Mobile" stations were located throughout the building and it was on a first come, first served basis daily with where you worked. More free food perks would've been nice, but I guess that's why they give us a paycheck.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
