An Ex-Employee’s Thoughts on Intel March 31, 2008.

Intel is great, but it’s not perfect. The biggest obstacle at the moment is unifying the 70,000 or so Gen Y, Gen X, and Baby Boomer workforce into a culture of innovation like Google and Apple have done. CEO Paul S. Otellini has his work cut out since some employees are restless for change while others are comfortable in their ways. Take for example the horrendous 70′s cubicle farm that Conan O’Brien poked fun at during his visit. An attempt to redesign the office environment into something more open to collaboration and innovation was met with complaints from individuals who actually liked being isolated in a drab cubicle. Or take for example an attempt to give free vending machine snacks to designated business groups à la Google. When others caught word and complained about the unfairness of such an act, the vending snacks were made free to all employees and it was only a matter of time before greedy individuals began ransacking and emptying the machines when no one was around.

To be fair, all of Intel’s troubles can’t be tied to the current culture. I’ve witnessed talented individuals save the company millions through cost reduction projects only to receive a $25 check and a paper printout for a plaque. Or how about this interesting paradox; Intel builds the most advanced processors yet employees will never use one unless they buy one themselves (for the record, my work laptop was a five year old IBM T41 ThinkPad although an upgrade to newer HP’s was underway). And even if an employee decided to buy a new computer, it is likely that a college student would fair better when it came to discounts on Apple, Windows, and PC products.
