I shared my experience as an applicant but feel the need/ urgency to reiterate as I've always held Intel in very high regards. Race/ gender politics is superseding meritocracy, starting right at applicant pool assessment stage. I so happen to be a woman and of 'color' (POC, to be politically correct). Despite there being a strong alignment in terms of skills/ exp. with a highly specialized role, I was being tapped out as I didn't meet desired race profile of HR/ Managers, who too happened to be POCs. I've had a similar experience previously. Intel is suffering from race-nepotism, where certain managers may bar certain other ethnicities, especially if they'd like to be perceived as 'model minority'. I can see this eroding objective, meritocratic assessment of deserving candidates who may not want to chime in 'lead'h'er' song or vow allegiance to any specific ethnic group, over choosing the company. This strategic barring is done by very seasoned (cunning) Chief of Staff.
