Pros

- If you are an expat, with 30% ruling, your salary is solid - flex hours - traveling

Cons

- Bad management. They have no clue what to do, and all their job falls on you. - If you work in manufacturing 2+2+2 schedule is a nightmare, with 2 night shifts. - you work 8.5 hours, while in a lot of countries in Europe, it is 8 hours, meaning ADV days are useless - Generally, not very clear processes, sometimes you get in contact with 5+ people to do something that should be very simple - Salary growth is very slow and it depends how you do your projects, not how good are you at your job - These "projects" are there just to keep you occupied, and 90% of the time implementation of them will not improve anything. - Very unlogical ways of working - chaotic work environment - Knowledge sharing is very limited, and it is very frustrating to obtain it - If you work in manufacturing, you are essentially an engineer who follows procedures, without using any engineering knowledge, mostly manual work combined with some software click skills - Escalating and calling all the time, sometimes multiple persons cause a single person can't solve an issue, makes you wanna question how they got the job.

Pros

Professional Development: ASML offers great benefits, including tuition reimbursement and strong career growth paths for those who are proactive. It’s a fantastic place to build a resume and learn high-demand technical skills.  Talented Colleagues: You are surrounded by very smart, dedicated people. The collaborative nature of the engineering and manufacturing teams makes solving complex, "impossible" problems possible.

Cons

Management Consistency: Like many large organizations, your experience can be heavily dependent on your specific team or manager. While many departments are excellent, others can feel the weight of high-pressure deadlines and micromanagement. Bureaucracy: As the company has expanded, it has become more corporate. Be prepared for a high volume of meetings and a need to navigate internal processes to get things done.
