Pros

Profit sharing 13 th month

Cons

Team of individuals with less than 1.5 years of experience in ASML, and unfortunately, lack of familiarity with protocols or contact information. Additionally, the supervision provided (Buddy's with less than 1 year working at ASML) to new engineers are inadequate, as they assigned tasks without a clear understanding of how to contribute effectively. The virtual training they offer, which are expected to prepare new engineers for their tasks, are often tedious, lacking clarity, and not very helpful. The internal competition to achieve year-end bonuses for a salary increase is a problem, the managers or team leaders above you dont hesitate to screw your efforts, even if it ends your career.

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.
