Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Mentor/buddy program meant that I had a POC who I could confine in with any issue both technical and non-technical. Super knowledgeable across the entire business - even areas they have no real exposure to.
All employees super helpful and often found them dropping their current task to support if I reached out.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Inclusive and relaxed. Mental well-being prioritised. Encouraged to take breaks for ergonomic and societal reasons.
Hybrid work environment which has resulted in the office being sparsely populated. Some interns left with minimal face-to-face contact time with colleagues.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Intel Corporation to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Intel Corporation
At least from an intern perspective - it is what you make of it. By default, some interns are busier and have a greater workload than others. But there is always more work available upon request. Encouraged opportunities to try/sample different teams and BUs within the company.
It is a friendly corporate environment which welcomes anyone and everyone.
