Pros

As far as technology goes, it's top game. That's where it ends.

Cons

Terrible interim management in an already bugged and toxic environment. Personal treatment and appraisal is often unprofessional, dishonest, and ad hominem. They will play with your expectations to their advantage and will use you against yourself when the game calls for it. This can include imminent criticism as well as spreading falsehoods about character and performance behind one's back.

Be very careful about what you share with your colleagues, even more with your direct supervisors.

Another piece of advice: do not sign up for a position unless it is a direct contract with the company. The Flex option will turn you into cannon fodder, and most secondment agencies, in prioritizing their financial interests, will not have your back if the client turns on you for whatever reason.

Advice to Management

Your code of ethics and speak-up policies are a pinnacle of hypocrisy. ASML is unable to keep talent around in the short-term, and a serious shift in lower management practices will be needed in order to attract experienced professionals.
