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.

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

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.

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...

bro, what is your job title in INTEL?

hi peeps, newbie in intel. today is my first day. looking forward to learn as much. nice to meet u guys here in intel

dunno if I heard my prof right but he said that Intel gonna shut their operation in Penang in the next two years .. moving to someplace with lower labor costs..

but still, didnt know if he only 'gebang2' ..

simple fact...$$$$..Since AMD have now gain more % share in market..Intel profit down..2nd is less ppl regular change desktop or laptop..Ppl now aim at Ipad and Iphone etc..smaller then laptop..mutliple function..

PC now just use as regular daily work task..

Some more qualification and knowledge of work in Msia is dropping..very common Intel will look for cheaper cost to operate..Vietnam ,China and Israel etc have ppl..

Good example is our Proton car..new model out just use some modification facelift consider new..Even new car and new design but the performance and quality look like old technology...

Ill be coming for internship coming july.. 
Does Intel allow casual wear?

Going for internship soon at penang intel

how was the working flexibility? need to clock in and clock out like others standard company?
because i heard from my cousin some day he off during weekday and some day he only work few hours.
i always see him damn freeee...
however, that was last time.

Is this thread still active?

I have an offer to work at Intel Kulim. I am from another country and will be relocating to Kulim. We have some questions to help us decide if we will relocate or not.

[1] How much is the average house rental for 3 person (me, wife and 5y/o daughter)?

[2] is it better to live at Kulim or Penang area?

[3] What is your daily transportation mode to work? Does Intel provide shuttle services?

[4] Can somebody provide an estimated monthly budget/expense for a family of 3 person?

Thank you very much for your help and time!!

Firstly, Thank you for replying.

The offer is at Job Grade 6, ill be coming from Philippines.

If ever we will stay at Kulim area, what are the available local transportation mode (ie,bus) going in and out of the office? do i need to use the taxi everyday? this might be too expensive. Does Intel cover the transportation cost?

How many % annual increment and promotion increment is considered competitive? At least for around the northern area within the international tech giants.

intel have one app where your management can spy on you. try ask your intel friends. if not mistaken, its call wellnomics workpace

Anyone knows what is the grade for Tax Senior Accountant and its pay range at Intel PG?

its against intel law, if u disable it. good luck with that

Well GT to Perm BB is considered as Internal Transfer, not related to hiring freeze based on Pat's words.
