Pros

The pay is competitive. A lot of opportunities to learn about the industry. Depending on luck you may have a good manager and/or team. They really walk the walk when it comes to sustainability.

Cons

Dissent is dealt with harshly by upper leadership. The pay is high but all other benefits and non-monetary compensations are pretty disappointing. Work-life balance isn't a thing here. The culture is often toxic. The benefits explicitly exclude transgender care for family members.

Pros

ASM is not for everyone. And I do not mean it in either positive or negative way. It is just the way it is. We believe in the semiconductor business outlook fueled by AI demand. We believe in keeping the talent density to drive progress. We believe in hard work and at times you have to go above and beyond. We believe in excellence. And we are fanatic about it. And this is what I have seen during my long tenure here. I have seen great progress where ASM breaks through silos and as one cohesive team working together to deliver for our customers. And this progress will not happen with small and incremental changes. It requires bold transformation driven by our C-level leaders. And with every transformation there are challenges and there are opportunities, there are supporters and there are those who would like to keep status quo. I have seen great opportunities given to people who believe in our cause and deserve it. I am not saying that we did all the right things. I believe we made many good decisions, and we did make mistakes as a human does. But without change there is no progress and without progress there is no success. And we respect those who decides to join and stay with us in this transformation journey as we respect those who decide that this is not their usual cup of tea and withdraw. This is us. This is ASM as I know it. And I am enjoying every single bit of it.

Cons

For sure there are things to improve.
