ASML Software Design Engineer II reviews

Very process intensive and not very flexible/ agile in planning.

(This is about HMI in San Jose, after it was acquired by ASML. Not about ASML in the Netherlands) - Work life balance is very bad. It's may be okay if you're a new grad and single, but with a family, simply NOT SUSTAINABLE. - Salary is low, even compared with other hardware companies. When I switched to another company, without much negotiation I got 40% increase in base salary. But my salary at HMI-ASML was at top level within the HMI part. So I guess they really didn't have enough budget to pay higher salary. - Salary doesn't increase with increasing responsibility. It's seems funny, but they will put more responsibility and title on you, without a single penny increase in salary or compensation. Manager will just dodge you when you complain (he would just say, "it's ASML policy, I can't do anything about it"). - Product plans didn't always seem realistic, putting too much pressure to achieve something quite difficult in very short time. In the end, the plan doesn't work. - Not enough demographic diversity (yet).
