several managers and mentors at Intel that we're sincerely interested in helping me develop my career
I know that Intel has changed. A lot. But in the early 1980's Andy Grove (as President, before he was CEO) came up to Oregon to speak to the employees. Someone asked him when they were going to have showers for the employees. Andy responded "Intel is a place of employment, nothing more."
That's not easily forgotten, even though Intel did eventually install showers while Andy was still in charge!
Of course good managers care about their reports, regardless of the tone set by top management.
