Pros

ASML is known for good products and is the market leader in EUV technology. Nice and modern offices. The Silicon Valley Campus was built brand new in 2021. The cafeteria offers subsidized food of good quality. Gym located onsite and free to use 24/7.

Cons

The overall compensation and benefits package is not competitive in comparison to other Bay Area companies. Poor work life balance. Many employees are forced to work evening and weekends for no extra compensation and very little recognition. This becomes challenging especially for employees with families and children. No active programs, benefits or policies exist that promotes a healthy work and life balance. Top-Down old school management. The majority of all decisions are made in the Netherlands. USA and other regions are not involved or influential enough to be part of the decision making process. Several manager and director positions outside of the Netherlands are very often ceremonial positions with no real influence. Opportunities to learn and grow are very limited. It is almost impossible to excel in your role or to get promoted. This affects productivity and morale and is causing a very high employee turnover. Toxic and cutthroat culture. Employees are not speaking up to suggest improvements due to retribution fears from management.

Pros

Location is good and near freeway, they make a crucial technology for the world to function

Cons

Toxic environment. Selective enforcement, antisemitic DEI culture, tattle tale rat snitch employees, managers play favorites, managers move the goal post after you were supposed to earn a salary increase. too many foreigners in management and not enough americans. DEI is a joke and is run by a racist black women. Company will burn you and punish you for problems someoen else created and punish you for it despite no power to fix the issue yourself.
