content: sounds like someone spent so much time making acronyms they had to use them in order to have enough time for the speech.

content: Just another "kitchen sink" position available.Proabably designed to scare the faint hearted applicants and absolve management from all responsibility of driving crazy the new hire.

content: I am still disappointed that they replaced the obvious mnemonic for x86 sign extension with CBW (convert byte to word).

content: They didn't want to copy RCA from the 70's. The CDP1802 had a SEX opcode, which was used to assign any of the 16 registers as the index register for indirect operations. Also SEP to set the program counter.

content: That's only scratching the surface. Try working there.In fact, Intel has an internal website called "TLA", dedicated to Three Letter Acronyms (hence TLA).Every group, every dept., every lab, every step in the process, so fourth and so on. They all have their own TLA's.It's funny trying to explain anything about Intel to someone who does not work there. I might as well be speaking Latin.

content: I have had, from 2008, jumped around 5 companies and most of the time I enter through an agency (I speak Japanese) and thus are saved from all the mumble jungle... 3 out of those 5 companies, I later re-read the ads they posted on some of the top job seeking website in my country and... well... they sounded like they wanted to hire MacGyver with a bit of A-Team and Mission Impossible thrown into the mix...Mumble Jungle

content: Quote from: inteljoe on November 20, 2016, 08:33:57 amI was thinking of applying for jobs at Intel Folsom but I have been hearing not-so-good things from friends and colleagues that work there. When I look at the job postings and reviews on Glassdoor, it seems like Intel is slowly losing it's way.
