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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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!
