ASML reviews about "training"

Employees are not incentivized to develop themselves. Trainings are fuzzy, and 95% is learnt on the job. Coaching and mentoring not encouraged. Some colleagues are too focused on keeping their job, they are not collaborative.

Office politics with management was chaotic. Unrealistic goals for achievement made it difficult to accomplish. Favoritism played a large role with management causing an unfavorable work environment. Personnel hired as managers lacked defining leadership qualities. ASML is a good company but the ASML office in Hillsboro Oregon lost sight creating a coordinate direction.

Depends on the position the growth in the company is very slow and there is the danger that you're performing a function that ASML is the only place where you can practice.

1. No opportunities to grow. 2. As a vendor, which operates on the customer's site, this makes for unfavorable working conditions. If you're an ambitious, hard worker, looking for a long term career, you will probably not be satisfied with this position after about 3 years. On the other hand, if your straight out of college, ASML is a foot in the door to an intriguing industry. If you're the "less than ambitious type," this job is perfect for you, as it allows you to coast along for years with, little to no accountability.

Stressful environment, switched from day to night shift as needed by the workload, hard to accommodate, not enough notification time in advance

fast direction changes, difficult to cope at the beginning. hierarchy quite well established. a lot of initiatives are smoothed out by chaotic processes.

new technology, young colleages, big company

Very pro customer oriented, so a bit hard to works especially facing unreasonable customer Very demanding job, need always prepare for last minute working.

In brief, it is a pressure cooker environment at the mid-level. An overbearing way of working bureaucracy is drilled down everyone's throats. There are too many managers (compared to people actually working) who spend their time making Powerpoint presentations to justify their existence to the Dutch management overseas. Micromanagement is a fine art in Wilton. Excessive number of meetings is a major drain on the staff. There is poor training and support for new employees. There is an entrenched old guard in the senior management in Wilton consisting mainly of survivors of the 2001 merger. Their decisions serve their interests and often come at the expense of the workers reporting to them. Too many engineers are burned out or have become cynical. The work site is very overcrowded and the environment is depressing. Unfortunately, HR cannot help as they are stretched too thin, stressed out, and are as overburdened as the rest of site. The outlook for future professional advancement is poor.
