Stay in their positions for ten years
The \"staffer\" magazine took a shortcut to understand Intel, this is an internal study:we talk with dozens of employees face to face about their understanding of Intel, theirperception of Intel, the cultural genes of Intel. Our interviews cover all departments ofIntel, and the coverage area of the interviews includes China head office of Intel, twomajor rd center and a few large factories, thus we drew the outline of a completeview of Intel's culture : technicians are meticulous and solemn; market departmentemployees are enthusiastic and decisive; leaders are adept in listening initiatively andwilling to share with others; basic-level staff are active and responsible. Each of them are marked the Intel's unique brand.
During the interview, what surprise us most is the loyalty of the Intel employees. The job-hopping rate is very low. More than 50%of all employees have worked in this company for 10 years, some even have been in the position for 20 years, which is a strangephenomenon. Workplace can never be a calm sea, and is more likely to contain much turmoil and temptation therein. Intel is locatedin center in the IT industry, and as a industry leader, both ability and quality of its employees should be top in the industry, therefore,almost every employee has ever faced to an offer from competitor or cooperative partner of Intel. Why they can withstand temptation?What belief they have to make their career so \"stable\"? This cover story will bring you into Intel, one of the world's top 500, to work outthe mystery why the employees remain in their position in Intel for 10 years. Meanwhile, we also hope the topic can bring the upcomingunsettled year-end career atmosphere some fresh and instructive air.
