Intel Corp. "Retreat"

Paid Sabbatical

"INTEL’S SABBATICAL PROGRAM, AKA THE KING OF BENEFITS

It’s about taking time to rest, recharge, and renew that creative energy. Some people travel around the world, some climb mountains, still others learn an entirely new skill. What would you do on sabbatical?
This is definitely the most coveted benefit at Intel and the one new hires seemingly drop their jaw at when they discover it. Every 7 years, you can take an 8-week, fully paid sabbatical. Want to take extended time off sooner? You can opt to take a 4-week paid sabbatical after only 4 years instead. Once you’re eligible for sabbatical, you have up to 3 years in which to take your time off, so there’s plenty of time to plan and save for the perfect experience.

This benefit is one of the reasons that Intel was named on Glassdoor’s 25 Highest Rated Companies for Vacation & Paid Time Off list."

TELEWORKING

Wiki: "A 2007 study of National Science Foundation employees indicated that approximately one-third participated in telework regularly, characterized staff satisfaction with the program, and noted savings in employee time and greenhouse-gas emissions as a result of telework.[102][103] Rep. Sarbanes (D-MD) introduced the Telework Improvements Act of 2009 in March 2009. Co-sponsors of the bill included Reps. Connolly (D-VA), Wolf (R-VA), and Capito (R-WV). The bill requires each executive agency to establish a policy under which employees may be authorized to telework to the maximum extent possible without diminishing employee performance or agency operations."

NICHOLAS BLOOM RESEARCH: THE CHINESE EXPERIMENT (What Teleworking does to Workers)

Data: WORKERS WILLING TO TAKE LOWER PAY FOR FLEXIBLE JOBS

"Major companies have already started the process of going through an office downsize. For example, American Express created their BlueWork program, which conducts a survey of their employees to determine which category they best fit into: Hub, Club, Roam, or Home. Those who fall into the ‘hub’ category work from the office, ‘club’ employees work from a mix of office and home, ‘roam’ workers spend most of their time on the road or at customer locations, and ‘home’ workers work remotely from home."

How much are they getting?

From a LinkedIn Article written by Dimitra Haslim

4th October 2016

We recently ran a survey on compensation in tech startups in Singapore. This topic is very much top-of-mind for many founders. Compensation data - base pay, bonus, stock options etc - are hard to come by. Existing salary surveys tend to focus on established IT companies and their roles (e.g. sales, marketing), but don’t quite capture the nuances that startups face.

So we decided to ask startup founders in Singapore. We sent out a survey that asked 4 questions. The intent was to keep the survey brief - founders are busy. We also wanted to get the information out there fast and then iterate later. Responses from 13 founders came very quickly, almost all commenting that they have been looking for compensation data.

The 4 questions we asked were:

1.     What is the monthly base salary of individuals in your executive/management team?

2.     What is their annual performance-based variable cash bonus? (As a % of base salary)

3.     How much equity did they receive?

4.     What is the total accumulated amount of funding that your company has raised?

The founders were asked to respond to these questions vis-a-vis various C- and VP-level roles [1].

[1] Abbreviations: VPE - VP Engineering; VPF- Finance; VPO - Operations; VPP - Products; VPS - Sales; VPM - Marketing.

A few other choices that we made:

1.     Geography: We polled companies that are Singapore-based and presumably with their key staff located in Singapore;

2.     Roles: We focused on senior roles, and typical titles that one might find in tech startups in Singapore; and

3.     Funding: We surveyed companies that have raised funding (Series A and later), though we included a mix of companies across funding stages. Perhaps reflective of the state of the ecosystem, there were more companies with earlier-stage funding (Series A/B) than later-stage.
