ASML Sr. Design Engineer reviews

New managers in Mechanical Engineering are useless. Anyone who are in buddy systems are promoted quickly with zero abilities. No promotions, no sense of team work, bunch of Idiots (new managers) screwing up entire work culture and spirit of good engineers. Lot of them leaving due to bad management.

Financial rewards are bound to the collective employee agreement, which means that by staying at ASML, the salary will not grow very fast. If you were an engineer at ASML, the search for another job within the industry poses a very peculiar question: "Am I a manager or an engineer". Unless you were involved in some of the competency branches within ASML (mechatronics, electronics, optical and imaging modelling), you know a little bit of everything, but not very good at anything in particular. In other words, you know that bicycle needs two wheels, frame, handlebar and a pair of cranks, but you have no experience in designing any of these components separately, even though you know how exactly to specify them.
