I do a search on Glassdoor Intel Malaysia (after they announce Intel layoff) and found this. Is Intel bad place to work?

Freshie ok what 4k per month

MNC is quite expected to work across site or even across org

from his description i can agak agak know he or she is from which org

Ask myky44

i like their culture of sending 3 person to do 1 person's job, and year end review 1 person must get C

i dont think thats the point .Iam seeing the point here showing most mnc people love to show their ego from the review ,i mean its being onrmalize

Ald famous la. Good salary but laid off fast

Intel world no.1, don't care work culture in Malaysia

You mau gaji besar, then shut up and work

thats why you don't understand about the workload in mnc .you think macam your
ccp company ka ,one person do 3 ppl work. Breakdown time ask da ge come rescue .you wait long2 la

C? Car, Condo, Commission, Credit, Cash?

those ego ppl if they refuse to reply your email ; just sync up with your manager then direct CC his boss or even his boss punya boss if showstopper

he or she should reply you within 5min and apologize


if still the same ..which meant that is his org/team direction or stuck in some higher priority task ..then bo bian wait lor

usually those happy ones mana will so free go glassdoor say good things.
only those salty will go and talk bad. take it with a pinch of salt.

Macam ni pun bukak dupe ke

what mnc are you in?

Average feedback is positive. OP cheery pick one disgruntled worker and make a big claim. What's the agenda?

About layoff - many tech companies are in layoff mode. It sucks but it's a normal cost strategy for most American tech companies. If it worries you, then you're not suited for an American MNC. Try apply to government positions maybe?

Dunno outside Malaysia

But Malaysian Intel "engineer" is just a overpaid spec sheet reader
Some will think they're better when they tighten the spec without really understanding the spec
Heck there are some that understand the spec tightening reason is unreasonable but because their boss say so, they just follow

Idiots with no brains

That's why it is said Made in Malaysia, not Designed in Malaysia
The only good they are is just a follower, yes man to angmohs dick

ini mau itu mau, semua mau. ts kek

opposite from what my father said. He said no politics, although increment like shit, typical of NMC. but he already VSS retire 8 years ago so nevermind la

faster reply me la, which 'mnc' would hire a fool, confusing '3 person to do 1 person's job' , with '1 person to do 3 person's job'

my cousin works here..almost 3 years already and still WFH...starting salary he got 3.5k...that was 3 years ago (PKP 1st).

if its that easy ,I not expecting a fast reply expectation ,within next day pun enough la .
Each time ping ,each time gave kena ignored ,you think la..CC boss only to wayang je ..boss also dun care one .They stuck in high priority ,its an everyday culture la..Like one day reply pun cukup as per reasoning

Myky Suda lama blahhh

dont la so agitated .I am also work before in ccp manufacturing company .Breakdown time ,ccpig management buat x tahu ,manpower kena settle on sunday refusing the to adknowledge the root cause is from their site owaii

of course not like expecting instant reply..what i meant is after multiple reminder still the same then no choice have to do something

else you are the one who receiving pressure from your boss

intel mana? intel penang macam okay je

thats why the habit of mnc ,leave it until they push further then only i action ,i make sure to put the first move dulu because babi egoist wont care until they get ping from their boss lo.

sometimes the waiting time can be more than a week, especially those requests that involve US timezone. lol. as they forgot even after reminder. sometime really need your senior that know that person to email reminder then only the person layan your email. lol. this kind of progress really really slows things down. productivity down toilet drain.

Its not RtK
Cos he's a gudboi

And only work monies


Lol, isn't that normal
SLA for me is 24hrs is urgent

WD is laying off oso.
Sos secret


Usually my issue is with the US teams sometimes, yindia pipur sometimes no replies oso, even after they did the needful

is like that 1 la ; other than politic stuff ..different team also got their own priority (as the team not just supporting 1 project)

i also x layan few ppl email until they escalate and i diao them back

In MNC like intel u need to utilize the recognition/kudos point a lot. Then only people will like to help u
Worked there for 7 years before jump, always get the help i needed

india folks you need to be good with their manager n boss ..then everything can bincang

thats why pre-covid i purposely fly to there to chit chat and build relationship with few managers (with some souvenir)

after that thing went smoothly with their macai

True

and purposely add his boss and say thank you blablabla

he can lanc around and next time help u more

too big of a dinosaur with all just looking to do their own KPI only

Actually among all the MNCs, Intel is a pretty good place to work. Office politics is minimal. No sohai senior knows best decisions. Mostly data driven decisions, so people won't get sidelined as long as they back it up with data.

At least this was the case many, many years back.

Lol sounds like local oso
Gratuity > all
Best La get to go to yindia, kampeni or personally go there while vacay?

business trip ..got technical agenda go then go there "bincang" as well

Best La.
Me currently pushing boss to let me jump to US one
First as training, the slowly try get absorb over there
But inhell there Kenot WFH iinm

INTEL APAC SALES DIRECTOR PLS SHARE EXPERIENCE

my US team hybrid

1 week need go back 1 2 days


now very hard to get business trip chance..

Which org ah? PM tepi.

Noice

Shhh...kenot ..i prefer keep myself low

In any MNCs, if they ignore you, usually there are a few reasons:
1. Stupid question
2. Emailed to the wrong person
3. Email doesn't clearly state what you're asking
4. Asking them to do what you're supposed to be doing
5. All of the above

You should ask yourself whether you fall into any of those categories.

See above. There is an art of emailing/requests. You should go look it up in LinkedIn Learning, Oreilly or any of those self help websites.

6. sometime i just too busy to reply your email

Same. I have a couple of friends who still wfh they software engineers. One guy moved to KL already also they don’t know yet, still thought he’s in Penang kek

Nah, if you're working in MNC, you will usually know the priorities of your team and other teams/geo (or your manager/department lead would tell you). If you're not privy to those info, that would mean whatever you're working is too low priority to even reply.

But but...that's not gonna get you anywhere within Intel if low profile.

in /k
because sked surprised buttsecks

That's why I said PM tepi mah.......llllolol

BEST PLACE EVER. 100/10 RATING

India company of course like that one

i believe i always kena number 3 and 4 ,even though i tried my best to explain to them im like ??? to get additional information is something where different dept uses different jargon words ( that is understandable)
but the thing i hate about mnc always allow to use shortcut words which each dept don't even know lool

exactly. there's so many acronyms across the different organisations that being used. want to understand also scratch head and slower. when discussing also just used the same acronyms without even care to explain. don't know what shit they talking.

There's a way to get around that. Firstly:
- Identify the right person for the email (You should liaise more with your seniors or check with them if you're emailing cross team/geo for any tips)
- Identify/introduce yourself to provide the context to the recipient (more often that not, the person you're asking is not sure if you're privy to the information. You can also CC your manager/senior or a person that the other team identifies with)
- Place the right amount of information for context (You're asking a request or question to the other team, you need to do some homework/legwork to provide the right amount of context, not too much that the person you're asking will put off for later, but not too little that they can't work with)
- If the amount of information is too big, consider setting up a meeting with the person first, with putting the basic context in the meeting invite, then explaining the right amount of info.
- Put at most 2 requests/questions that you have in a prominent location of the email (Usually ends with a question mark "?" and are bolded/highlighted and not more than 15-20 words long per sentence)
- Say the right amount of appreciation/thankfulness for fulfilling the request/answering the question (Usually, people skip this. It's very important!)

That's on you. If you are too lazy to ask what it means, you are to be blamed. Try asking your seniors or someone who've worked with the other team.

got many organisations under MDC.

CSG
PSV
DDG SOC
DDG ATOM
PESG
PSG

can slow slow guess 😂

btw, this thread moved from Kopitiam to Careers 🤔

I have tried asked but even senior don't know. they said it has been used for long time d and become some legacy stuff. so they just keep using without knowing what the acronyms stand for. 😂

This post has been edited by ipohps3: Oct 18 2022, 12:14 PM

That would mean that the acronym has became a word by itself.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/2...w-were-acronyms

your step is like my daily basis sometimes to answer some things i cant solve .thats why i say sometimes we got limited information ,we usually ask user back as well .
seniors also got ask pun tapi tak tau la

Need to setup a meeting to discuss and get the information that you don't have. At this point, I'm not really sure of the problem you're facing. Can you explain more on the details?

Edit: Just had to say this:Even our situation is exactly the thing you're facing. Most likely you're not communicating your intent well, hence confusing your stakeholders/recipients.

Am sure more than that.....forgotten IPG, IVE etc.......lol.......that's why curious which one we're alluding to.

Intel is super huge in Malaysia, good or bad, really depends on which org/division you're in. I think the best way is don't go in blindly if possible, if you have friends working in Intel then get their opinions regarding their specific division, don't just ask 1 friend, ask every friends you know who's currently working in Intel, if you don't have any friends to consult, then you'll have to go in blindly and wish that you're lucky enough to be part of the good ones.

Btw TS didn't mention which kind of position he/she is looking for. Just simply look for 1 bad review in Glassdoor and mentioning layoff only.

my guess is psg lol

yup there are more than what listed

This post has been edited by ipohps3: Oct 18 2022, 08:14 PM

Lol....each person's expectation and tolerance within a work environment is different. What is good for one does not mean it's good for another. Intel is pretty huge with multiple functional org in Penang/Kulim and the mode of work is different between them. If it's so bad, why are people still there and why are recognitions and what not still given to said org/people.

Got NEX/CCG/iVE/MPE/IPG/IOTG group also.

Got rumours say PSG is not MDC
Dunno some business unit might be better than others.

i thought intel retrenching ppl

Yes, I work in PSG and it's not part of MDC

intel culture is kinda toxic. direct management, indirect seniors will devalue you through so call indirect military drill method, they wont do it in public but they will do that to you during their 1on1 or during discussions. Mocking and emotional abuse is quite common if you joined as senior position while trying to adopt into the system. they only GIVES u 3 months to become pro, or be prepared for performance action. i can see some organizations listed there which IS IN RED LIST based on those who join and exited.

To survive in intel you need to be a street smart to navi around those abuse triggering factors or...your EQ need to be high

not all, intel and motorola have this styles

intel is good for fresh but not friendly to senior new hired

so...now you all know how much time you need to work in order to get your work done now? those are the things need to done. or you are as die as shit

Woah....... That's some serious allegations there. While I don't deny that there might be some management styles/ mode of work are questionable.....the culture is actually kinda okie.

bad apples are everywhere I guess and really pending on how bad/good your next manager may be. It's not all crap in Intel. I'm sure other companies have their own set of problems.

i think those who are majority OK should be gone by now through their so call CPM program. in order for some of those department to survived, military style is required to ensure their survival. So some of those department are quite toxic.

But as overall, intel practice wolf culture. Everyone needs to win in order to survival, so being ignored is very common. And from one of the old news when there is an antitrust issue case in Europe. I think everyone knows what is it(its some antitrust against AMD), from how they bend the rules, you will know how much extend and desperate the employee would go just to ensure their department is winning.

You expect workplace like kindergarten?

Wow. This is interesting read. I thought office politics only exists in very few companies

I think unless you're really in Intel, there's really no way to tell.
