Pros
ASML is a large company with fascinating projects to work on. The work is exciting, and the people are great. Additionally, there are excellent benefits, such as free access to Coursera and strong technical support.
Cons
I joined this company in 2017 with high hopes, but my experience has deteriorated by 2023 due to rapid growth impacting culture and employee well-being. Work expectations are unclear, and the review process is confusing, often favoring certain personality types over others despite claims of supporting neurodiversity. The environment has become toxic, with prevalent backstabbing and managers treating employees like interchangeable parts rather than valued team members. Feedback and evaluations seem arbitrary, based more on office politics than actual performance. There is also an implicit bias in promotions, limiting growth opportunities for many employees. While I respect what the company once was, it now struggles with direction and fails to support professional growth effectively. I hope these issues can be addressed to restore its former reputation as a great place to work.
