Pros

Collaborative environment Technical challenges abound Cutting Edge Technology Good people committed to making great designs General mangers seem to be in touch with the needs of their group members

Cons

ASML Veldhoven and ASML US feel like two distinct & unequal companies (examples, asymmetrical vacation allotments, general facilities) Constantly changing way of working is very frustrating especially when no allowance is made in project timelines to accommodate. A lot of paperwork for even simple changes "Do as I say, not as i do" Recent change to bonus structure does not seem to be fair and does not encourage collaborative environment. Can anyone answer why bonus structure is still flat for Veldhoven, but based on performance for U.S.? Can anyone explain why base percentage is higher for higher managers "But we all contribute to company success"? ASML likes to jump into the middle of things *then* figure out the bugs rather than a more "structured" approach. Exciting, but not when it is 24/7

Pros

Location is good and near freeway, they make a crucial technology for the world to function

Cons

Toxic environment. Selective enforcement, antisemitic DEI culture, tattle tale rat snitch employees, managers play favorites, managers move the goal post after you were supposed to earn a salary increase. too many foreigners in management and not enough americans. DEI is a joke and is run by a racist black women. Company will burn you and punish you for problems someoen else created and punish you for it despite no power to fix the issue yourself.
