ASML reviews about "training"

Training program is horrific and does not prepare employees for tasks they're expected to perform.

Work space needs upgrade. Cubicles and carpet look rather old. Engineers can sometimes be bogged down by documentation and not really focus on design work.

Computer Based Trainings, internal fab communication between groups, and improvement approach. The way you are assessed is stressful. Learning various aspects of the machine is best learned hands-on or in training not during a 1 hour lecture or by computer based trainings. The local fab team always needs to pick up the slack for the upgrades team and install team. In addition, the part ordering process is a problem. Management has been doing a good job realizing these issues though. The approach to improvement seems to be very customer driven, make smaller transistors, which is why ASML commands majority of the lithography market. Unfortunately, the same software problems go unnoticed model to model and energy efficiency: energy input to energy output is ignored.

Huge companies suffer from internal communication problems. If a project or document needs approval from more than one department, it's going to be real slow to resolve. Also, ASML is a company that continuously runs from one project/problem to the next and never looks back. If your problem is idle for more than 3 months, you should almost know that it's going to be left behind.

Selfish culture can sometimes be overwhelming. Lack of respect with colleagues shouting at each other during meetings, not a pleasant environment.

Role clarity, Management and resource assignment

You can be confused at the management structure at the very beginning, especially as a new employee. But gradually, I start to figure out the advantages of current managing structure. This can help company keep productive while value people at the same time.
