11/3    I've heard a lot of conflicting views about intel as a workplace.
        some people told me it was a horrible place to intern/coop and some
        said it was pretty awesome.  Anyone have any experience?  I'm being
        offered a 6 month at logic verifcation (don't know what that is).
        \_ Well, I'm not sure about the details, but I imagine it means
           cranking through layout to compare against verilog-type
           information.  All I can say is that I've been at Intel for
           almost 18 months and it's great.  I'm designing and implementing

        \_ Depends on you. Intel prides itself on being inflexible.
           Considering the high-tech field, inflexibility doesn't go over
           well with most.  But really does depend on your group. In
           general no flex time(ie 8a-12p then  1p to 5p). In my group you
           are expected to work minimum 8hrs with 9 to 10hrs being
           average(8a-7p). Pay is generally below avg. but if Intel does
           well the bonuses will more than compensate. In general, an anal
           company. For example, they search you when you leave the
           building.   summarizing, you might co-op somewhere where you'd
           want to work later.  Unless you don't mind strict policies, and
           a military like environment, Intel's probably not it. People
           only join Intel out of college... almost never from other
           companies. This speaks for itself.
