    Is that lvl 5 comparable to our lvl 5? If it is I doubt Intel would take someone on with only that qualification.

    Confusingly and despite some commonality now at EU level different countries still have different numbers for different levels of qualifications. UK HND is level 5 there and on the Irish NQF it falls between our level 6 higher cert and level 7 ordinary degree. A UK level 6 is comparable to a level 8 here, you really need an up to date qualification comparison diagram to see it clearly. Anyway I'm sure Intel know what they're at.

    Indeed. I've copied this over from my Email!
    The program here in Intel Ireland will b running until June atleast-we are looking for about 200 graduates to start between now and then.

    Ideally candidates who have completed their HND or HNC in the last two years and of course is a plus if you have some experience already.



    It is a really great opportunity to open you up to the engineering field and give you great experience for the future. It is a 23month contract based here in our plant in Dublin/Kildare



    I have attached some information for you to review to see if you would be interested.

    I just watched a film about Enron, called "The crooked E". It should be compulsory viewing for anyone considering working at Intel, or anyone who works there holding out any aspirations that they'll "get places".

    I work there now, I love the place tbh. Its my second time working at Intel (separate sites) and just as good. I don't understand all the resentment towards the fab work as I have never worked on that side. I assume when people apply, they know and accept they will be in a fab? Is that not the job one applies for!?

    The majority of the site I can see are a happy bunch and the culture seems great overall. Its a ferociously large corporation so if you are expecting no politics and bureaucracy, then don't bother applying. If you can get over that and are hard working, you will be offered many opportunities along your career.

    What department are you working in? I'm considering moving to Dublin in the near future and Intel would be a likely destination for me if I do. I'd like to know which departments are a bit friendlier, I'll definitely be avoiding Fab by the looks of it!

    Someone I know just claimed manufacturing technician salary is between 42-46k gross depending on your bonuses, surely bullsh*t?

    Nope. If he/she is there a while they could be. I knew a janitor/door man/ I'm not sure what he did that was there since the place opened. He was probably getting more than some managers. You get a wage increase every year dependent on site and personal performance. Depending how the company is doing you could be pulling in decent money after a few years.

    That sounds about right for a new hire MT, but it includes shift allowance.

    That is a true base salary for experienced people working on the machines or "Tools" as Intel like to call them.
    Were talking minimum 7-10 years experience though, no graduate is going to get that.
    On top of that your looking at 30% shift for the standard Intel shift pattern.

    And be under no illusions, you will work hard for that.
    As posted earlier by someone, mistakes and incompetence will not be tolerated, this is to be expected given the environment, besides risking deadlines , mistakes with gasflow systems etc, also put lives at risk, so if you screw up badly expect to be escorted off the premises!

    Over time, talent is rewarded , but you must prove yourself!

    ^^^^^^^ See that? Thats a perfect example of the "culture" people talk about that exists in Intel. I thought like that too, right up until the day I got my P45 along with 298 others.

    Lesson learned. You are only a number, as disposable as the next dedicated hard worker when it suits them. Never, ever, again am I going to work my ars3 off the way I did in Intel, for any employer.

    I learn this working for my first big American company (Not Intel). "Your a valuable asset to us... as long as we say you are. Now get out."

    RCG's technicians with L6/7 are hired on 25-27K, with shift and standard overtime you add 50% to that. they are also eligible for the same bonuses as full time staff. Some people like working there some hate it. Depends on the type of person you are.

    I know someone that worked there in this role very recently. His pay aligned with this:

    After a few short months he quit (I can see why).

    Cheers for the replies lads, I just found it hard to believe that you could make that kind of money with a level 6/7 position. Even still though, it wouldn't be for me!

    Be under no illusions. Large Irish companies are the same. Everybody's just a number to somebody.

    I'm not sure I see why this is a problem, I work for a huge American company, if somebody offers me 15K more I'd move because it makes financial sense for me to do it.
    Likewise if it makes financial sense for my company to let me go, then so be it.
    They don't owe me anything, I get paid a good salary for hard work, every two weeks, we're square as far as I'm concerned.
    People go on about how many years they gave a company and how companies have no loyalty, but wave a few extra grand in their face and they're out the door, regardless of how much their training cost etc. You can't have it both ways.

    There are plenty of electricians (level 6) that earn in excess of that.

    Many moons ago I earned far more than that when I worked as an electrician and more again as an instrument tech, electrical foreman all on the basis of my level 6 and experience.

    Any idea how Intel reacted to their relatively new contract employee deciding to leave. Did they get them to work their notice or just ask them to leave ASAP?
    I know a fair few graduates hired in the recent employment drives working as techs there. None of them seem to love it but then again there are plenty of people who like it fine and are there 10+ years.

    Intel acknowledged that he had performed very well during his short stay, even winning some sort of award or recognition. When leaving he told them the truth which was that he found the work monotonous and unchallenging. Intel respected his honesty and said that the door would remain open to him should he wish to return. He worked out his notice and a little extra because they asked him to.

    Sounds very professional and amicable. I suppose taking on so many grads over a relatively period they would have to expect a certain amount wouldn't work out for one reason or another.

    Worked in Intel for a year with an Engineering Subcontractor.

    It was definitely the worst work environment I've come across.

    Very cut throat, all over contractors and intel reps your working with are down you cross checking your work and if there is the simplest mistake there is a massive deal about it.

    I was very glad to get away to a better job in the pharma sector.

    The money I was on was about the 30k mark, however knowing older people below me were on more than me made me sick considering I got 2 promotions and was never offered a raise.

    I have a few mates that are Intel staff and generally 75% are just G.O.'s.

    Any staff engineering job requires 3/4 interviews which I think is an insult to a person who has a degree / masters etc.

    Was glad to be walked to the door on my final day!

    Sorry to latch on to such an old post but when you say
    "I have a few mates that are Intel staff and generally 75% are just G.O.'s",
    here, what are you refering to with "G.O.'s"

    I assume that this is a reference is to "General Operatives"

    Cheers, that's sort of where I was going with that anyway.
    Do you, or does anyone on here know, who does the hiring for Intel for Gen Ops?
    I'm doing an on-line Master's and looking for shift work (of the 3 on 4 off- 4 on 3 off variety) that pays reasonably well.

    I know Multiflex do it for IBM in blanch but it's by a large a 2 shift cycle over 5 days, which I'd like to avoid if possible.

    Thanks in advance

    Are they permanent positions? WG probably replaced Retronix from when I worked there.
