The Role
Intel provide great oppurtunity to apply studies, extend learning deal with big accounts and possible travel the world
Worked really closely in my team and made some great friends
we wer support greatly but also allowed the freedom to explore different aspects of the role.
It varied, some days very busy some days quite, like most jobs
I managed $millions on a large mult national customer, I was their first point of contact at INTEL and built a great relationship, I travelled to also have meetings with them in their office.
Like any large companies alot of what you learn can apply to the internal culture of the company and not so much outside. But I did develop organisational and communicational skills that will help me next year and in the future.
The Company
great place to work is a value at intel. lots of fun events and general feeling in the office is a positive one.
very good training scheme at the start, with hand over period with old intern. The intern community themselves always organise lots of things too.
Lots of training organised. and we could sign up to take additional training if there was an area we wanted to improve.
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
International Travel
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events

The Culture
