Pros

Colleagues, benefits, and work environment in general.

Cons

Very Bad U.S. Management.

In 2016, Intel decided to get rid of people in Germany and simply force them to leave by saying, "We don't need you anymore." This was just to reduce the headcount.

But Germany is not the U.S., and you cannot force "successful" rated people to leave in this way. I decided to leave only because of the big disappointment caused everywhere by this spread atmosphere. Some colleagues sued the company and, although previously fired and accompanied to the door, they are now back at their desks.

Is this what you mean by a Great Place To Work?

Advice to Management

Germany is not the U.S.
