If you work here, you know the place is posh. Its great to have a nice workplace but that leads to complacency, laziness, ineptitude, tons of bureaucracy, low morale and poor execution. If you work in the fab, you know how much bs you have to deal with, how short handed it is, how horribly run it is, how chaotic it is, how hard it is to find tools, managers not really listening to techs - you wonder how this place stays running at all! If you work as an engineer, you know the long hours and see the inefficiencies. The whole system is just too bloated and too bureaucratic - getting the simplist things done is hampered needlessly; their network portal is a dumpster fire, so scattered and convoluted it is impossible to find things, contacting HR, submitting a ticket ...the computers are slow and outdated and Outlook wont work half the time. And no one wants to make changes that need to happen cuz everyone is too comfortable and too scared to do anything meaningful - and this is what you get - layoffs due to so many systemic issues and a company that is weakning.
In the world of business, you are swimming with sharks. Intel is a very Woke culture which is great, and has lots of benefits and decent salary but in business, sorry to say, you've got to be tough and hard and vicious at times. Intel has gotten too soft and too bloated and needs a change. Sure, keep the woke culture and the nice amenities but they need to hire a bunch of "starving dogs" who will come in, who really are fearless and take risks reasonably, shake out the beaucracy, make the changes that need to happen and be unapologetic about it. I love me some kindness, wokeness and poshness and goodwill toward mankind (which Intel is starting to brand itself as) but sometimes you just have to be a hard-@ss and a bad-@ss to get sh*t done. That's what Intel needs or Intel is going to weaken.
