Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My day to day is very much dependent on how I manage my time. I do lots of work with multiple stakeholders in the UK, Western Europe, META and occasionally the US. This could be working on ELR newsletters, updating HR partners, data presentation and analysis, creating and sending out communications, team leading, working with the mental health team and more. I have frequent meetings with my team and others but I mainly work independently.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Lots of responsibility. The role is very independent and if you are not a self-starter you aren't likely to do well. You need a lot of initiative to meet deadlines and do the work well - especially if you want to do better than average and stand out.
You can also ask for more leadership responsibilities if that is something you want to improve. Intel is great at giving you lots of opportunities to lead&improve.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Guidance and support have always been available whenever I've needed it.
I meet with my supervisor/coach twice a week for half an hour and my manager once every two weeks. However, I can reach out to them whenever they are available or whenever I need additional guidance.
I can also reach out to anyone on my team for help.
With regards to mental health, I can reach out to the mental health team.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
There are different, inclusive employee resource groups and intern lead committees to take part in that are really fun! I'm a part of Women In Intel (UK WIN) and I have met so many people and attending networking and development sessions.
I was also part of intern publishing where I made a bi-weekly newsletter for the interns.
There are also other things such as charity and sports and social things to be involved with!

I have really enjoyed working for Intel.
The company is very inclusive and allows you to do what you believe you need to go to grow and advance.
It's easy to integrate with other interns as there are so many of them you're bound to make friends. It also makes the transition easier.
