ASML reviews

no possibility for growth, so much politics, doing the same thing over and over again, no possibility of learning new things, some people do the job while others present that works and do not let the people who do the job to be visible, only 3.5% increase of salary because of generic evaluation system if you are not a favorite person of management.

Terrible instability: -Do not expect to have the same boss for more than 6 months. During my time at ASML I had 4+ Group leads (GL), 8+Project Leads (PL), and 5+Team Leads/MDOs (TL). Poor management: -50/50 chance of having a good group lead or project lead. Yet, with the constant change it is hard to tell who you have and when you have a good one. -Bad GL/PL/TL are really bad. If you are on a team with a bad GL/PL/TL do not expect to have any support and expect to get blamed when things go wrong. Finger pointing should be expected. -Due to the constant instability do not expect PL/TL to have a good grasp on the projects (especially the bad ones) Bad work/life balance: -Work/life balance is constantly discussed. This is due to each employee having such a large workload. High amounts of tribal knowledge: -Despite the documentation there is a high amount of tribal knowledge that is hard to get. Expect it to take 1yr+ to get a good grasp of what your team is doing.
