Process
Was contacted by the "John Galt Staffing Inc." staffing agency by Sean Nelson.
Never applied for the position. Sean found my resume online and got in touch with me. He was super helpful throughout the entire process. Was in correspondence with him for about two weeks, after which I finally received a phone screen.
The phone screen was not like any other phone screen I have been a part of in other companies in the past. It was a full-blown interview. It went on for an hour.
Suggestions:
- Read about UV light characteristics.
- Read about the photolithography process.
Did not get selected, although I felt my interview went really well. They want someone who is technically sound and academically excellent. Had high expectations. Did not even give me feedback on why I did not get selected. Overall, not a good experience.
Questions
Tell me about yourself.
Tell me about your internship experiences.
Talk about one project in detail which you are passionate about.
Gave me a design question for a photolithography machine. Design a nozzle for blowing air onto the mask for cooling it during the lithography process.

- 4.0Great position for a fresh college graduate or to transfer in as senior managementMechanical Engineer • Current EmployeeWilton, Connecticut, United StatesFebruary 25, 2025Pros: ASML has a strong, employee-friendly culture. Work schedule flexibility, both in working hours and working remotely. Strong and clear role hierarchy. Interesting and challenging work.Cons: Regimented salary increases make it difficult to be promoted to the next job grade. Once you've been promoted, you will not be promoted again for another 3-5 years, regardless of your performance reviews. Communication from upper management to teams is poor. Changes to the way of working are abrupt and not announced in advance. Teams are typically understaffed while expecting the production of a fully staffed team.
