Pros

Deeply technical company. Generally meet a lot of people who know what they are doing

Cons

Everything else. Some so called “engineering” jobs like system qualification and proto are just technician roles sold to new college grads and h1bs as engineering roles. Its a pretty shady practice. Most people who end up in these roles get stuck as such. It’s hard to move out into other roles because of a lack of technical expertise. This is gonna become even harder with the reorganization. And its harder to move to other companies because ASML has a very different product. You could spend years here and your career would go backwards. Some sites in the US also are known for a deeply political environment

Pros

Advanced tools fantastic technology to learn from. If you have a good mentor learning is smooth.

Cons

Management gets in the way of being an egineer. Customer driven as to be espected. Office jobs over shadow fab workers ( fab is looked down on ). Lazy coworkers work load is never balanced.
