Did you notice they use lots of "contractors" from India?
Yes, MR and his friends have stakes in the contracting company there.
The more they outsource, they more they get paid.

I noticed that all the contract jobs at Intel are now advertised only by Indian companies. Many of the local recruiters here in Portland rarely have Intel openings for green badges but the scummy Indian recruitrers from India seem to have green badge jobs available but for peanut pay. I guess those Indian blue badges at Intel have cornerned all the green badge jobs through their side business contracting out jobs or get a kick back from referring these jobs only to their Indian based recruiters
Murphy is Indian but not cost effective. Costs too much.

This will continue to happen when management will try to fill their own pockets and kill individual's career instead of thinking intellectually.
These words have been said since the year 2000. Intel is a corporation losing market share. At some point Intel will have to look out the windows of the executive building and realize technology companies are passing them up for a reason, they can compete. Intel doesn't own data but has a data center group. Why? Intel sells virtually everything required for building a computer but allows others to purchase their components and make billions on selling computers with Intel inside. Why? Intel tries to purchase competitors, example: Broadcom, for tons of billions because they couldn't lower the prices of a mobile CPU to apple by 2 cents. Why? Intel can build mobile CPU for 1/2 the price instead of paying tons of billions acquiring competition but don't. Why? Intel's leadership is the issue. But the Board and shareholders do nothing to resolve this issue. Why? There are thousands of more 'whys' with no good answers when it comes to Intel. A design center in India isn't the real issue if you truly think about it for more than 1 hate filled second.
MR is a fraud, runs a fake contractor company in india called mind lance which supplies labor to intel india. Plain loot
Nobody in the US has a good work/life balance.
@3ivg The reason they work 24/7 in India is because they are so freakishly inefficient, thanks to low-quality engineers who spend more time backstabbing each other and updating their CVs than doing actual work.
Guys this is not a joke. Intel India design Center works very hard, almost 24/7 with most passionate and innovative engineers. In US site the work life balance has taken over everything else. Clearly at 1/3 the salaries, if intel can get more and better work done, unless US employees show more value, intel India design Center will continue to grow rapidly.
Indian born ceo's are leading companies like Google, microsoft, Pepsi etc. MR is of Indian origin and making most important decisions for turning Intel around. Most Bay area tech companies have Indian born senior managers. There are good as well as bad managers from any ethnicity.
Of the overseas Intel sites I worked with, Israel, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, and India, I do think India is somewhat behind, in terms of innovation, quality of work, efficiency, and sometimes ethics. Let's be honest to ourselves, culture does play a role here. It's a fact that many Intel managers/leaders in US are Indians (I don't have the numbers, but I believe the ratio of Indian managers/leaders to other ethnic groups of managers/leaders is not proportional to the ratio of Indian to other ethnic Intel employees), so if Intel today is not in good shape, and if managers should be the ones to be blamed, it's understandable why there are so many posts at this site targeting Indians. Really nothing personal, it's strictly business (and simple Bayesian analysis).
@2kct.. it has been proven.
It's difficult to say but it hurts when you think innovatively, thinks for the best for the company and still gets the boot.
Tells a lot about what kind of people are managing Intel.
then prove that you're smarter than the outsourced Indians, go to Apple, if you can.
@2auu... I like your view point. You stole my words..
because apple actually has a future, whereas intel is just a titatnic sinking into a brown sinkhole
Why could Apple still keep, even expand, its design centers in the States? There is no such thing as cheap innovation. A real high tech company should focus on innovating, not seeking cheap labors; pushing the virtuous cycle of more innovation => more profit => more innovation. Sad to see Intel management has such a cheap mindset.
Yes, the US government needs to look into this! They mus control the economy! We must execute according to our five-year-plan! Hooray for a big strong government! Hooray for a government that babysits the citizens and protects them from the forces of the evil free market!
Is US government looking into this ?
Eventually it means jobs are getting outsourced...
I see machine learning / artificial intelligence jobs are also getting to low cost centers...
it's sad that people in management are filling in their pockets ...
This too will fail but not before we have thousands in these so called design centers
India is cheap, but not cost effective.
yes. more will move there because India is cost effective.
