    Good company culture, interesting work

    Oct 10, 2022 - Senior Mechanical Engineer in San Diego, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    A good job is something that provides 1) autonomy, 2) complexity, and 3) a direct connection between effort and reward. ASML provides all that. ASML shows autonomy by letting employees do remote work (if applicable). The work is complex and interesting by it's very nature - we are building highly complicated machines. Lastly, ASML provides reward for good effort in numerous ways, such as the reward programs (points which can be converted into gift cards), salary raises that go beyond inflation, etc. As an engineer or scientist, if you develop an experiment or test plan and need money, there's very little pushback for ordering equipment or tests. And, ASML is fond of letting engineers and scientists stay as engineers or scientists - it's the managers deal with the political conversations such as headcount, budgeting, etc. Engineers and scientists can stay technical without wearing many hats. Lastly, ASML company culture is very family friendly. Managers and co-workers are very understanding when time is needed for doctors appointments, or if childcare falls through, etc.

    Cons

    Some employees are spread quite thin if there is high demand for them. ASML needs more headcount - and they are hiring all the time - but there is so much work to do!

    Talks the talk.

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Overall this is a good company to work for, even if it occasionally falls short of its stated values. -Pay is decent for early career in mechanical development. -Says all the right things about work-life balance -3 weeks PTO plus 13 paid holidays (if hired directly) (4wks PTO after 4yrs) -Funding is typically not a barrier (or a consideration) to completing my projects, but I understand that this varies between different parts of the company. -Coworkers are pleasant -Current WFH policy is reasonable. -Stable company with long-term growth mindset. Major investments happening in the area and no signs of being impacted by tech layoffs yet.

    Cons

    -Most people I know are working 5-10 hours of overtime per week due to tight deadlines (unpaid because salary), despite management claiming they don't want us to (the same management who is setting timelines). -Typical drivel about being benevolent corporate overlords. -Hiring and onboarding processes are dysfunctional. -Not very many people with more than 3 years at the company.

    Cons

    -Management insists all employees must be in office at least 3 days per week even when a job function can be performed completely remotely -Documentation of procedures is very out of date -Due to the above there are frequent lively discussions and a lack of consistency in the way things are done across projects -Wilton Factory processes are often an afterthought when new tools are rolled out despite being the future mode of operations globally -There was a company wide "market adjustment" to salaries in 2022 adding 4% but many positions are still low compared to publicly available salary data for the geographic area, job title, and experience
