About HMI, not whole ASML: Not recommended

Senior design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Opportunities to learn and grow for young new grads. - Can work on some of the most advanced tools in semiconductor industry.

Cons

(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).

Good Growing Company and Good Market Leader

Supply chain

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

*Good Benefits *STI Bonuses have been greater than target. But preferred old Profit Sharing Plan where every employee received same % share of your base salary. *There is career advancement but you have to drive it yourself. Good managers help you when you get them *Revenue growth every year and future looks good *Market leader *Very High Tech Company

Cons

*Did not have a Work From Home until Covid forced them. Now they introduced a WFH Policy up to 2 days but would prefer 2 to 3 days with no rules. *Work/Life balance is tough as growth accelerates and it is hard to find people in some areas. *Pay ranges are good but for this Company, they need to be better to attract more people and retain them. ASML should not have just above mid salary ranges we should be tops.
