Intel Corporation reviews

As a past intern at Intel I would say Intel truly is a great place to work. (Or maybe I was very lucky to be on a team with a manager who made it that way!). I came to know a lot of nice people through group meetings and team lunches. My manager was very positive about me getting to know the company on my own, as well. I was given 100% ownership on some of the projects that I worked on and I enjoyed working on this culturally and geographically diverse team. The team manager is by far the best I have known (compared to reports from interns working with different groups and teams at the same time). To recall one small incident, even though he clearly did not have to, my manager offered to part with some of the team's travel budget for that quarter (which by the way was in the negative) to cover my travel expenses for a full-time job interview scheduled at Intel's other site. All in all it was a great first experience to work at a big company like Intel and I would work for this manager any day.

Intel overall has decent benefits but the perks haven't lived up to the top 100 companies to work for in the last few years. There is a reason for that. Medical benefits are good and you get a choice of plans that fits your specific needs. However, what you pay our of your paycheck is getting worse every year but that may be in most companies. Paid personal time and vacation/holidays are on par with the average large company. Stock Purchase Plan offered to employees and bonuses a few times a year. Retirement plans available. Career opportunities and growth are good depending on which field you are in.
