re: You can still get in if you have the right set of skills for IoT, datacenter and anything to do with drones
Yeah, till the shift focus AGAIN and then your skills will no longer be needed so you'll be the next to be ISPed and shown the door. Good luck.
Intel is still hiring briskly, with reports that 6K new folks were added even as 12K were shown the door. You can still get in if you have the right set of skills for IoT, datacenter and anything to do with drones, lol. If you are in mobile or traditional desktop, forget about it. You are also most likely to get hired if you are URM and/or RCG.
Morale is horrible at Intel. At least 40% of those who've left where quality people. Intel is having issues getting and retaining quality people. As long as BK is CEO Intel will move sideways at best.
DO NOT come to the TMG side.. especially the fab side. It is a slave job like work.. on call all the time 7x24 with your phone and computer required to be on all the time... horrible hourly wage with dead end career.
Thanks @veq
Avoid Intel.. may look like a better place but not
BK tenure will be short because of the following
1) End of Moore's Law is here and there is no real plan from anyone in management
2) Product is one trick pony with continued 5-8% decline YoY and will continue
3) ARM is it, don't believe the most recent ARM license as Intel is behind TSMC and Samsung
4) Foundry is failure .. they are trying to reboot but intel process is NOT friendly for usage by others. Look at their effort for the last 3 generations and NO significant customers. If the process was better and easy they'd have customers. BTW why would any customer want to come when x86 sells for 150 - 100000 per die while foundry wants to pay between 1 - 20 bucks a die.. Why would intel make it for you when they can use that valuable leading edge process for something else. Of course if they fab is empty 2) then of course, but their cost structure is busted to compete against true foundry ... thus more layoffs...
If you are on the design / product side maybe consider it as Intel will be split up soon. A x86 side and the overworked and underpaid manufacturing side that will continue to see big layoffs!
