Pros

ASML is known for good products and is the market leader in EUV technology. Nice and modern offices. The Silicon Valley Campus was built brand new in 2021. The cafeteria offers subsidized food of good quality. Gym located onsite and free to use 24/7.

Cons

The overall compensation and benefits package is not competitive in comparison to other Bay Area companies. Poor work life balance. Many employees are forced to work evening and weekends for no extra compensation and very little recognition. This becomes challenging especially for employees with families and children. No active programs, benefits or policies exist that promotes a healthy work and life balance. Top-Down old school management. The majority of all decisions are made in the Netherlands. USA and other regions are not involved or influential enough to be part of the decision making process. Several manager and director positions outside of the Netherlands are very often ceremonial positions with no real influence. Opportunities to learn and grow are very limited. It is almost impossible to excel in your role or to get promoted. This affects productivity and morale and is causing a very high employee turnover. Toxic and cutthroat culture. Employees are not speaking up to suggest improvements due to retribution fears from management.

Pros

Nice bag pack which I will never use and cookies for my dog(he was happy)

Cons

Not recommend, if you have a degree. Lowest paying overall for manufacturing sector. Routine job. In general higher management terrible and neglectful. They implementing more and more restrictions, more surveillance, more cameras. Feel like you are under microscope, pushing to get vaccinated, like you are under experiment. As a result, company has high turnover rate as employees are continuously quitting due to poor treatment...

Pros

Work on formal processes and tools

Cons

The biggest problem is their mid-level management. They have created their ears in form of SMs and POs. The managers only believe what their so-called ears make them believe. This is a place you're never gonna like because management here never shows faith in their employee. Management always pushes people in some kind of race and mistakes are not forgiven. People try avoid getting blamed rather than accepting mistakes. At some point of time, one realizes that "learning by mistake" is not the way to survive here rather than "avoiding the mistake". The very first thing which never lets one love the organization is their miser attitude. They show off their sales records and high profit every year but when it comes to giving facilities to employees they don't want to spend on things which will make employee task easier & faster. In short, taking care of employee is nowhere in their minds. The only care comes when it might affect the productivity of an employee. I have not seen any company of such a scale which even can't afford paying for the quarterly or annual dinner of the teams. My advice would be avoid joining there if you are looking for a place where you can grow with peace of mind. Surely join if you want to jump in the race of blames and overshadowing others.
