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
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?
