Pros

Salary and holidays are great.

Campus is convenient.

Product has always been the unique selling point for true engineers.

Cons

In past years, a lot of incompetent people were promoted, also to higher management positions.

Powerplay and growing their kingdoms have become an objective, trumping company and customer value even.

Micromanaging without any strategic vision and selective (ab)use of data to report out make for a very toxic environment where management cliques promote each other.

Advice to Management

CEO Wennink is a great example: a leader that listens and cares for engineers and customer value. There are two parts to hiring and firing. Start using the first less and the second more. Make ASML great again.
