Pros: It has a cozy atmosphere.

Cons: I have no downsides.

Pros: Supportive and knowledgeable mentors who provide valuable technical guidance. Exposure to complex, large-scale software systems used in real industrial environments. Opportunities to take ownership of a full project from design to implementation. Collaborative and open work culture that encourages learning and discussion. Access to workshops, training, and a structured development environment.

Cons: The onboarding process could be faster for new interns. Limited access to internal systems during the early stages of the project. Some dependencies in large codebases slow down testing and validation. Cross-team communication can take time due to strict procedures. Documentation for internal tools could be more beginner-friendly.

Pros: ASML offers a good income, a lot of holidays, and a very good work-life balance. You are never expected to overwork.

Cons: Bureaucracy! Being a SW in ASML is more about asking for grants, filling reports, and running terminal commands than about developing.
