Pros
- Relatively well paid - Some people are really helpful and very willing to be out of their way to help - At the center of a dominated industry - the company size is small enough for everyone to feel like they can contribute to make changes happen - culturally and ethnically diverse - a lot of opportunities to get exposures to different technical areas
Cons
- Cymer, a much smaller sized organization, is being forced into adapting ASML's big organization's Way-of-Working, which does not work and added way too much paperwork - Part of the management created a distrust of management, where people worry about their career future and feeling being taken advantage of. - Very long hours (12-hour work day is normal), yet the management or HR does not officially address everyone's over-time by offering means of payment, compensation time off or equivalent. - Management created an environment that promotes workplace bullying, where certain groups of people would deliberately, for extended period of time (months to over few years), withhold resources, delay approvals and process, undermine legitimate business interests and secretively allocate resources where they were not approved - HR does not hold accountability of their own actions. Such as not impartially protecting the involving parties of their innocence, or not handling criticisms well to address the inherent problems, rather, the criticisms of HR are often dismissed by senior HR members.
