Spectrum has been running a series of profiles on engineering work
environments which focused on 4 companies. Some of the descriptions
of the second company include:
"Discipline in the ranks is strict: the company is compared by some employees
to a military organization. The work is monitored and controlled, efficient...
and inflexible- too inflexible, engineers interviewed said...
Punctuality is stressed. The workday starts at 8 a.m.
The environment is functional and sterile. Engineers, managers, and technicians
have similar gray and white cubicles separated by low partitions in an open
office that appears to extend for acres.
This kind of functional environment is perceived as a negative ... but it
is a given, for elimination of difference according to rank is part of
this corporation's culture."
After reading "High Output Management", I claim company B is Intel. I
wonder what others think, especially our friends at "intelca" and "omsvax".
