Thanks for the heads up on the Larrabee. You gave me a lot of good advice and things to run with. I will probably ask you some other questions as I develop more complex ones along the way in the couple of weeks. Hope you don't mind, if you do just let me know and I won't bother you.

Don't mind at all, I'll let you know if it gets too much. But like I said, this is fun for me, so no worries.

Did you see their CEO looking like a muppet next to that senile reality tv star we call a president? He is a liability. He has made consistently bad management decisions. Intel is a capable company staffed by some of the best engineers in the world with some of the worst upper management out there. And BK is no exception.

And yet the Muppet has guided them to record high revenue...

I read a lot of reviews from employees about managent. It seems like the majority feel that management is a serious issue . I've been already looking into that and the revnues as well performance sectors that have gone up and down .

Intel currently has 107,000 employees. Have you read a statistically significant number of reviews, or are you presenting anecdotes?

Also important to note that people who have been impacted by layoffs are more likely to go write scathing reviews on the likes of Glassdoor.

You're never going to get "a statistically significant number of reviews" for any large corporation. That doesn't mean you can't reasonably extrapolate based on what we do know. For instance, I don't need "a statistically significant number of reviews" to say that Wal-Mart is a much worse place to work than Costco.

It's not my personal opinion not do I believe all management is bad. I only read about 500 reviews with 90 percent mentioning management in the con or negative perspective . I've never worked for Intel so I cannot give my opinion plus I think people company too much about management not fully grasping the pressures they are under . I just stayed what I read from the employee reviews that's all. Nothing personal from my end and no opinion from end . I was just looking into potential problems the Company might be facing for my cap stone project that's all.

Agreed. It's hard to get a very accurate answer or statistic . Even most statistical data out there doesn't include everyone just a portion of people . Those laid off as stated most likely do not have a positive perspective of management so obviously there are some bias comments . I think most workers don't fully grasp all that management has to do. I read a few managers reviews as well and most of them wanted to do more but were restricted . It's not black and white statistics

You've read 500 employee reviews of Intel? Why on earth would you do that? At 5 minutes a review that's 40 hours!

Average reading speed in the US is 200 words per minute. Assuming Lidiya Nikolayev is referring to his senior level capstone class (answering your question of "why"), we can of course then assume he is a college student whose average reading speed is closer to 300 wpm.

I looked at the first 10 employee reviews of Intel on glassdoor.com and found an average of about 80 words. Looks like it takes about 20-30 seconds to read the average employee review bringing your 40 hour total down to about 500 reviews x 30 seconds = 4 and a half hours. You were off by a factor of ten.

you are correct ! It took me about 5-6 hours I believe depending on how long the reviews where and the google searches . My cap stone project is pure " research hell " as I call it because a lot of the information I need cant be answered by articles or articles that I read are outdated at times or don't provide the answers to my questions . Where as the reviews area way of getting insider information to a certain degree of course about Intel considering some might be biased . I lump together the most mentioned topics or issues and then try to map out solutions . It's really a pain at times but legal blocked me from getting information even with the confidential agreement from the university . I don't have the luxury of a tour it taking to employees so the reviews are some what baised way of getting insider information .

It didn't take me 5 minutes per review more like seconds . It was around 5-6 hours.

Oh, okay, reviews that could be read in seconds. Doesn't sound like much of a review, but whatever. I'm sure you found it to be a good use of your time to spend even 5 or 6 hours on it.

For instance, I don't need "a statistically significant number of reviews" to say that Wal-Mart is a much worse place to work than Costco.

By definition, unless a set of data is "statistically significant" it is impossible to draw any conclusions from it. The Wal-Mart vs Costco is a different situation entirely, in that one has objective data about wages, benefits, store appearance, etc to make a decision on, not just reviews from disgruntled employees. Now that said, it is my feeling, not a statistically valid conclusion, that Intel does have management problems, based on their unsuccessful efforts in mobile for one thing, and a lot of other failed ventures to break into new areas.

I am somewhat confused by your #3 response....

My apologies if I was too esoteric in point 3. The proverb “You can lead a horse to water but you can not make it drink.” is English and was first published in 1175. Authorship is uncertain and it may be much older. If the proverb is now outside mainstream usage, I am saddened because it is pithy and insightful.

Also important to note that people who have been impacted by layoffs are more likely to go write scathing reviews on the likes of Glassdoor.

Three More Questions:

1) Intel is turning Dublin into an IOT city, is Intel planning to expand on this opportunity into US States?
2) What is the turnover rate of products that actually fail during the R & D process? \
3)In what stage do most products/ new inventions fail most?
