    The Company

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I`d like to come back to Intel because of the atmosphere, people and great achievements Intel enabled me to gain. I already feel like I have a very good chance fro being hired back as a graduate into my preferred area. I had several offers relating to my aspirations although they are slightly different from what i`m doing as an intern. there are countless offers around the globe and a huge flexibility that attracts me coming back and build a career at Intel.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Yes, we had a great community of Interns and colleagues as well. We went on several trips together and I lived with 3 other interns. The team is very welcoming and I`ll go away knowing I`ll have friends for a long time from intel.

    5/5

    4/5
