Intel is indeed leading for paying high basic salary on fresh graduates.

well, they believe in being number 1 I guess. LOL Number 1 in killing their employees too.

PDC...

yup, worked there for 4 years. now no more..so i'm free... intel has lotz of regulation to prevent social engineering... thats why not alotz intel folks chatting publicly..

Which group in PDC?

I used to hear that...
people working inside intel, they stay at their own cube, and they chat with their colleague only through computer and they don't even greet each other at the pantry.

what positions do axon offer? i'm interested in applying there but i've only seen technical positions posted.

IT support engineer.. Which provide support for internal users. MANY had failed to get the position. Good luck

42K include bonus? intel 3.1k doesn't include bonus and stock... but in fact, money not the most important thing when u young rite... opportunity and technical competency is the most important thing to consider... btw, what u say intel ppl only work in their cube, not greet each other.. that is your fren is it? i don't think they are freek man... they are just normal ppl..

You're right. Money is not everything. If you want to learn more technical knowledge, Intel is not the place. I hate Intel because of the political issue inside the company.

u worked in intel b4? if yes, what is your job scope then? i think intel is the only place in malaysia that if you wanna venture into high value chain semicon business... the process node that they are doing now is even advance than design team in singapore... i'm not sure is there any team in singapore/china that already start to research on 22nm design process... but in intel..they are doing that... so i don't know where else is better than intel if u wanna know more semicon technical knowledge... of cos, here i refer to design process... u might be correct for other job scope such as manufacturing...

btw, politics is everywhere, everybody is protecting their cucu cicit... they don't wanna to loose their rice bowl.. and i think we got to see it positively... this is competition... bangalore, US is always act like a wolf.. penang intel is just like a lamb... but the management have the strategy to manage it.. u can see now they are gradually expanding despite weak semicon demand nowadays.. and I'm not going to talk too much on the strategy as this somewhat confidential..

Where did you hear that?? LOL. I believe people have problems staying in their cube for long. LOL

42k per annum??? Intel pays more than that for a fresh grad dude.

Actually I haven start working yet...I ask HR they only said under PDC...so i dunno which functional group I belong to...u oso fresh graduate?

NAh....been working for 4 years.

When is your reporting date ?

42k is basic. That's a lot more than Intel. And the job scope is provide technical support for internal users. Meaning, when there isn't any problem, there is no work for them. They even have a pool table in the office.

Money is not everything. But hey, I'm not holding you back from going to Intel but from what I heard, every year you will evaluate the performance of your partner (yes they pair you together just to do the evaluation) and whoever get a better evaluation, get an increment of RM50 per month.
The thing I was trying to say about the cube thing is, the tense inside is at stake. They do not greet each other because they are working under pressure. Would you work at that kind of place where you have to tension and tension and tension everyday? For your information, my friend graduated with 1st class honor in E&E(who worked in Intel before) told me all of these. Also, reading through the post, I can see there are some people commenting about the politic inside the Intel. Yet, the decision is totally up to you. Be there and feel it.

Another fact, Intel ALWAYS hiring. Why? Because their workers always come and go.
Every year, Intel even goes to my previous high school to advertise their company, showing the requirement, salary and the post in Intel(kononnya career talk). A question here, if Intel is so great, why are they still need to hire that much of people until they need to promote themselves in HIGH SCHOOL??!! I don't see AMD, Motorola, Shell all those big company came to my school to do such activity...
I had a chance to talked to one of the manager from Intel. I asked "I heard that... Those who stay more than a year in Intel is less than 5%. Is that true? How come there is such situation?"
He replied "Every company has its own problem, staff problem etc.... bla bla bla"

Anyway, I got no proofs. Be there and feel it yourself. It's a good experience though

Haha, why don't you do the survey first? Read through the post. Max 3.1k aka 12x3.1=37.2k

Should be 13 x RM 3.1k = RM 40.3

Most of the MNCs adopt 13-month salary.

Owh... Sorry. Forgot to count the bonus. I'll check with my friend and get back here for the bonus at Axon in TPM

what field is intel in ? engineering ar ?
can any IT based enter into intel ?

Primary industry: Engineering - Semiconductor

I believe they also require or hire IT background for certain functions.
