Pros

Good payment, a really high-tech company.

Benefits: 13th salary, profit sharing according to financial results.

Possibility to do any job in the technical field due to centralized development & production in NL.

Support for personal development, and also an accelerated career path for high-potential employees.

Full relocation & legal support during the accommodation period.

40 holidays a year (2 months!). Personal & family life is regarded highly in NL.

As a highly multicultural company, ASML strives to create an ethically correct environment & to integrate the expats is taken seriously.

Cons

As in any mammoth company (8000 employees), things move slowly sometimes. Though processes are working eventually, it's better if you know the right persons.

Depending on the team, it might be harder to integrate as an expat if the team is more Dutch.

A large portion of the employees are through third-party consultancy companies, called "flex companies" here in NL.

Some treat employees okay, but most are just money-making machines.

Do be careful when choosing your employer. ASML directly is best (in NL, it's called a "fixed employee").
