Pros

You get to work with some of the best minds in the field of engineering and probably one of the most diverse environments on the planet inside a company based in a small town. (120 nationalities and counting). Amazing office space, decent pay and most importanltly very supportive infraustructure.

Cons

Although very diverse, the mid, top and board is mostly Dutch and or european male. If you are non-white, non european the probability to go up the ladder in terms of salary and designation is pretty limited. Also, per local culture and continue company success, some key people are arrogant and even though HR takes measures, discrimination is quite common on all levels.

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.
