The Role
Intel prides itself on being a great place to work - it is one of it's core values. Good mix of youth and experience (lots of interns and recent college graduates give the place a great vibe) with lots of social, team bilding events, quarlteryl do's, xmas partys and 'blue sky days'. Java coffee house, shop, dry cleaning, free fruit, bus into town, free gym, sports and social club with discounted tickets to events, fre coffee, tea on site = amazin place to work.
People go out their way to make you feel welcomed and valued. Your manager will meet with you weekly, you will be assinged a mentor and Intels open door policy mean you can meet with anyone at anypoint. Awards and vouchers aregiven out almost daily.
Pls see above.
Intel prides itself on work life balance and you are allowed great flexibilty at work. I had the perfect mix of work - was never bored or counting the clock.
I was doing the same job as anyone else in my team - talking to customers, managing orders for millions of dollars, providing data to senior mgt for financial reporting.
You will learn life skills and work related experiences that they can not teach you at uni.
