Does Intel hire felons?

The existence of a criminal record does not automatically bar an applicant from employment. In determining the effect of a conviction on an applicant's employability, Intel considers the nature and gravity of the conviction, the time elapsed since the conviction, and the nature of the job in question.

Intel also conducts an individualized assessment by informing the applicant that he or she may be excluded due to a prior conviction, and considers additional, relevant information about the conviction as provided by the applicant, including, but not limited to: the circumstances surrounding the conviction, the number of offenses for which the applicant was convicted, the age of the applicant at the time the offense was committed, the length and consistency of employment or education since the conviction and other rehabilitation efforts.
