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

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

"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!)"

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.
