Do anyone knows what is the working hours for intel? Is monday to fri or mon to sat?
Has uniform provided for the graduate trainee position ar?

1. Working hours should be flexible and standard 8 to 5 or 9 to 6.

2. Working days also standard from Monday to Friday unless you're working in shifts.

3. No uniform I believe. Casual smart with collared T-shirt if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks...
You also work in intel?

you should be a fresh graduate from either UTM or USM. Not a penang local. Born in 1985.

I am a fresh graduate neither from UTM nor USM. I am from UTAR. Why?

No ife in intel....cannot install anything in the computer...their network admins are hard asses.......from experience doing practical there.....

You used to work there?

Sure or not?

Added on May 24, 2008, 4:50 amAttire for guys,
No shorts during business hours. With/without collar t-shirts are allowed. No slippers (I think is Malaysia site rules)

Attire for girls.
Attires which are not revealing. Shorts are allowed.

As in US you are free to wear whatever you want as long as you are not half/full naked.
Although Intel does not have dress code but it will be depending on sites rules and job's dress requirement which are spelled out in the job description such as no makeup in the production floor and etc.
Got to know this from friends working at Intel

There is no so call dress code in INTEL.. wear slipper, if your boss not mind, just wear it... in US, what ever u like. US company is flexible, some boss even not track your attendance... but just tell him in advance if u plan to work from home... U can do whatever but just to get consult from your manager first before doing it... for laptop, hehe, as long as when u watch porn, don't connect to intel network, i think its fine.. Intel company laptop has much flexibility compare to other company i heard... at least i can install msn, ym... and even war craft.. but better to be license copy.. then its fine.. in short, US working culture, they not treat u like a kid.. as long as u know you not cross the line and get your job done..make your boss happy..

If wear formal with long sleeve, is it ok?

Sure no problem. You may feel awkward if majority of the population doesn't wear that.

Not that bad lah. You still can install some of the software you want.

My housemate who works in Altera shared that it is even worse. I think they're using UNIX or Linux.

using linux(but customized for some Unix application) pc with a virtualization software(citrix if not mistaken) for microsoft products (windows explorer, office, outlook)

Yes. Virtualization software. Load MS products from server.

Yes! I heard Altera is the worst too. You can't use Skype or messenger to chat!

Web-based IM ...

+_+"


i used to spend my industrial training there for 6 months le... not bad company
IM, msn, even software, i am able to download and install it. casual wear will be ok with or without collar, selipar pun boleh
then... working hour, is really FLEXIBLEEEEEEEEE
i am not sure whether it was due to my upline manager or what but i go work at 10am then balik at 5
not to mention going to work then yamcha with my colleague and line manaer for more than 30 minutes, then noon, lunch... mostly 1 hour plus then 3o'clock... minum petang again ..
Haha
they have one thing in mind, doesnt really matter on the dress code or time u come work (even u are not going to office) but when it comes to work, do ur job and finish it, then consider ok ald
salary not bad for a fresh grad too but i am not working there anymore too far away
as a blue card holder, during sat and sun when i go back to work (*or should i say getting the internet connection) sometimes i cant go in the office need help from the cleaner to open the door for me
lol



*used to work for ISD dept.. but now no longer ISD dept.. i tink they changed name ald
playing with .net

Ya lor! I can't chat with my friend nowaday after she joined Altera 2 weeks ago!

Which building were you in that time?

want to ask anybody used to fired by intel? is the programming very hard if not expert in programming?

Why you wanted to know that?

coz i get an offer from intel, my programming skill is so so only...i scare cant afford to do...but the interview didnt ask me abt the programming...
u knw something ar?

good question... err.. is it block B ? errr... it is located at the side
y were intellian too ?

Working hour may be diffrent depends on which department you work for

Some department work for 8-5 like finance dept very routine.
Some engineering department work from 7 to 5 but friday half day.

Working hour is flexible doesnt mean most of the time u can come late and go back early.
some engineer suffer for 7am to 11pm everyday because of the on going project, conference with US couter part and etc.

Not all Alterian using UNIX or LINUX. Most of them still using Window.
Only certain department and groups using UNIX or LINUX.
Don't simply say something when you only listen from one source.

do u guys know what is the difference between panel and non-panel clinic?

Not ALL in ALTERA using Linux Platform as their workstation. Some are using Win Xp as well. They can install anything as long as it is legal.

Furthermore , They have in house IM for their own network. Why do you need to chat with friend while you are working?

I thought Intel Cyberjaya will be closed in August, then why still got people get hire?

Lol if you don't have a strong foundation in your programming, it is the same wherever you go, Intel or not
Just my 2 cent

IMHO, Intel really use their workers 100% or maybe more than that but they paid their employee back pretty good pay as well.
A good place to learn but need to sacrifice some social life when you are rushing project

My friend work 3 days nonstop (sleep a few hours only, the rest work) due to some projects, and after that, he takes a few days leave i think

They is no fixed working time. Working time basically depends on your department requirement.

Benefit is a lot if u work in Intel. Like in PG12, there're club house where inside have PS2, table footsal, magazine. Then aso have pantry with microwave oven, ogawa massage chair for free, free softdrinks, free ice, free coffee and tea.

Attire is smart casual. Means long pants, shoe and shirt (no sleeveless). Girls attire, no semi naked or naked.

I got Intel offer last time the starting salary is 2.4k...

I rejected the offer since far from my home...
Now, my fren told me that their starting offer is 3k++....

Why did I get offer for only 2.4k?

which Intel? Intel Penang or Intel Cyberjaya? I heard that Intel Cyberjaya will be close in August wor

Penang one...

i think maybe PDC pay higher...

Intel has revised their min salary 2 years ago based on your degree. First class will get as high as 3k as far as i know.

I work in Intel Penang too. However, I am different as I am a contractor - meaning Green Badge.

I really like the flexibility here. As long as you complete your job, nobody cares what you did, just be reasonable.

For the software installation, don't worry, they don't have much control on that, and I agree that anything you install better be licensed copy.

Wow, last I heard from my friend is 2.8k. Gone up again? Looks like they are gaining market profit while crushing the poor AMD

I think it goes up again. Intel is the leader now.

Anyone is working as Technical Marketing Engineer in Intel. Interested in this position and would like to know more about this job scope and get preparation for the interview.

Intel in Semicon field was quite famous and good!
just few ppls complaint about the pressure.
But intel will paid u high..... not like japanese company.

I've been called up for an interview for an engineer position in Intel Kulim.Can any Intelian share some info appreciate most. Can I know what is their working hour in Kulim?any additional allowances claim for travelling from Pg & what is their range of job grade for Intel engineer?

cheers!

u r fresh graduate or...?

used to be those stay in mainland who work in intel island, able to claim bridge toll but not your gasoline money... i think about 150 per month... forget the exact amount. intel fresh grad engineer start with gred3 till gred12.... gred7 = staff engineer gred9 = principle engineer gred10=senior principle engineer gred11=fellow.... when u reach gred9..most probably u will have 15 years and above of technical exp

I'll have an interview with Quality and Reliability Dept at Intel Penang next week....I'm a fresh grad...anyone knew what the questions will be asked? thank you...

What I heard is RM 2.9k and RM 3.1k (1st class) for fresh graduates. Maybe this has been obsolete.

didnt know that intel got block B building..

Intel penang PG9 is based on what functional group?

then i think definitely not from design center...

Intel penang is design center, rite?

you should say design center in intel penang..k? design center is subset of intel penang

PG 9? the one with the big Intel U sign on the building? HR i think..
ibmsege any idea about PG9?

This post has been edited by Brotherjoe: May 31 2008, 05:55 PM

wondering how is the working environment in Intel Kulim?travelling via Pg bridge to Kulim to work is a pain in the a$$. Wondering should go for the opportunity or not? sigh...

If I was being offered to work in Kulim, I rather to consider to stay at there or somewhere at mainland instead of crossing the champion bridge.

Design center only in PG12.

i know..gym department! haha.... he is working as intel gym instructor

Hmm.. from what i heard PDC doesnt only resides in PG12, they are also in other building as well as Kulim.

ya lor..pg12, pg2.1 pg 5.x... small one in kulim... but now donno.. after some of the manufacturing is shifted.

ibmsege you work at intel? Coz i dont see any inteliers replying this thread.. everyone here guessing and sharing information from what they heard

This post has been edited by Brotherjoe: May 31 2008, 10:09 PM

You're right. Not only in PG12 but most of them will resides in PG12. Intel have moved quite a lot of operation out and create a lot of spaces. That's why some PDC engineers sit in different building.

Starting for normal grad now is 2.8 and 3.1k for first class. MC85, what dept would you be working in?

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.

Added on June 1, 2008, 3:48 amAlso, for your guys information. I got a friend, without a degree because he quitted his studies after 2nd year doing E&E at KDU, got offered by Axon at TPM basic is 42k per annum = 3.5k per month. That's a lot more than intel.

This post has been edited by jiaxun: Jun 1 2008, 03:48 AM

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..

This post has been edited by ibmsege: Jun 1 2008, 10:14 AM

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

This post has been edited by jiaxun: Jun 1 2008, 11:22 PM

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.

LOL.....If only 1% of what you said above is true....LOL.....I don't care if your friend graduated 1st class or highest in the world. If he can't blend into working in intel, it's not the company's fault. Every company has their own set of politics. It's whether you want to be in them or not.

LOL..less than 5% is retained. LOL.......you're kidding me right?? Stop listening to that manager ( I'm curious to know who's that manager ). I listened to my friend that shell pays 50 million a year too......wanna go?

Max 3.1??

Count this: There're contractual bonuses which adds up to 1.5 months so that' 13.5. Haven't include the performance bonuses and whatever they might give throughout the year. Sides, we get stocks too so if you're happy with 42k, be my guest.

As for evaluation, evaluate in pair?? LOL, they're all evaluated in grades. Yes, it's abit unfair and I shall not go into that.

Intel is always hiring cause they're expanding lah. Intel believes in proactiveness that's why they go around campuses to promote themselves. Every company's personnel comes and go.

I think you shouldn't simply make judgement on thing that u never going tru... all your saying here from frens... all your fact here just from listening... tats no good.. engineer make judgement based on fact and data...but not from listening.. 50 per month?? i bet this is from listening as well... i been in intel for 4 years, and my income doubled since i got my first intel paycheck. and that doesn't count on my RSU, option, SPP, OT, allowance bla bla bla.. lotz of my peer experience the same too...

about your hiring stuff, turnover rate might be higher in other jobscope, as the semicon business is very job scope centric.. u can't compare manufacturing with design world. they are totally diff env and their enemy (other site counterpart) are diff though.. but what for sure is, the high hiring rate is due to the company continue expanding.. and US is shrinking... more and more design are moved to apac region now.. for INTEL, so far, Penang is the largest design center outside of US.. and the nearest to China and India. They have more than 10 years of design EXECUTION track record, compare to bangalore intel. Thats the reason they are expanding k? of cos there actually lotz of weaknesses reside in the company itself, but for me, so far this is the best company i ever served. And regarding to your so call5% thing... i donno where the hack u get it from... i know PDC particularly, the turnover rate ain't that high... lotz of them that going tru GT program since 5 years ago, still in the company...

btw, the job scope u r comparing, doesn't really apple-apple..u r comparing IT with engineering... the statement since beginning is totally wrong... are you engineer?

This post has been edited by ibmsege: Jun 2 2008, 12:37 AM

They hire IT background as tester to test their new processor.

i heard that Intel is slowly moving its RnD center to Kulim?

First, I DID NOT say that I'm comparing engineering with engineering. Second, for a degree in E&E, you can choose to enter a company with IT based or engineering based. I telling the option to those who wants to join Intel. Third, as far as I know, the Intel also provide IT based position in PENANG! Fourth, if the fact that 5% retain is wrong, why would the manager replied in such manner? If it's wrong, he should replied in a way like "Where did you hear it from?" or maybe "The statement you said is wrong" etc. But he didn't. I don't know what's his name because there were SEVERAL manager there.

EDITED: Also, your pay doubled not because of the stupid increment. It's because of the seniority. Please la. The best company you've ever served?? Because you only served one.

This post has been edited by jiaxun: Jun 2 2008, 11:16 AM

through out the post, u r comparing IT post with an engineering post.. The guy posting here from PDC, holding an engineering post. And your fren? IT support...

i have nothing to say, u r not in the field... better not to mislead ppl here.. i told u already, design and manufacturing env are totally diff.. u can't even compare both of them in terms of env and compensation...

Added on June 2, 2008, 11:20 amnope, manufacturing is moving over there... DnD stay still in island... I should say DnD instead of RnD... the "R" term is still weak in apac....

Added on June 2, 2008, 11:22 ambro, what is your job title in INTEL?

This post has been edited by ibmsege: Jun 2 2008, 11:22 AM

Yes, I'm not in the field. But if I meet the requirement for those position, I would choose a position with less workload and higher pay(42k i mentioned is just BASIC salary).

Yea probably you would say: intel is doing DnD.... bla bla bla.. but who cares? Now the important part nowadays is money. Yaya, money is not everything but everything cannot be done without money!

Seniority has nothing to do with pay check. I know people who did not get increment for a year or two so increment has nothing to do with that.

About the 5% thingy, I doubt any company would be able to sustain with a 95% attrtion rate. That's manager is either high or he's on his way out of Intel.
