Pros

The semiconductor technology is always interesting and I've worked in several areas of it across the world and enjoyed all of it. This element of the job was no different.

Cons

The customer account I worked with was extremely difficult. There was a lot of micromanagement going on and when it escalated the offenders would placate others by agreeing to change then the next day it would repeat as if nothing changed. Teams are extremely short staffed and turnover is extremely high which makes your job all the more challenging (my trainer left the company after ~2 weeks of my arrival). I've seen management berate engineers in front of 100+ other engineers and so much more. I wouldn't recommend the place to anyone. Enter the company at your own risk.

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.
