Pros

Only pro is good job security compared to other tech companies in the area

Cons

If you value your self, health and career growth, run -don’t walk - away from this company. Long hours and likely to be underpaid Very little access to the cool technology you are supposed to work on Disorganized with many middle managers, who contribute little and schedule meetings all day. No career progression. Very clique-y and divided, mostly by nationality. I won’t lie that this helped me sometimes but toxic culture if you are unlucky Team communication is very bad with a lot of ‘interdependent’ groups working independently of each other

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.
