Pros

I guess we are still hiring should be a positive in todays environment

Cons

Current culture that is supported by the HR team and leadership team is toxic. Impacts employee morale and productivity negatively. Can safely say colleagues in my team are highly demotivated while all of us are looking for external opportunities to come our way. There is also a heightened lack of trust due to poor comms, which weakens the trust we have in the CSuite and also the overall vibe in the office in Singapore. Performance management is a joke in ASM. As long as your manager likes you, your job is safe. If you dare to challenge your manager, be prepared for HR disciplinary action to follow shortly after. They keep those they like over the top performers as long as they are “yes” men. Can safely say if ASM were to survey employees, there will be a high proportion who are burnt out and worn down by working here.

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.
