Fast-paced = Long Hours & Much Stress
Fast-paced = Long Hours & Much Stress
The machines we build are truly stuff of science fiction. And being the only feasible provider of EUV-based photolithography in the world doesn't hurt either.
If you're bright, driven, and don't mind the super-fast pace, then you can have a bright future with good benefits.
HR is overall very good, with lots of employee events and community outreach as well.
Too many projects, not enough time, and a mistaken belief that more employees lead to faster development. This, combined with extremely aggressive program managers, leads to overworked and stressed engineers.
Another issue is the inefficiencies of working here: tons of meetings and emails, leaving one with not enough time to get actual work done.
What's more, this is a very process-heavy organization. While there are improvements being made to automate some of these, it will be a long time before working here becomes less than a painful exercise.
Finally, there are far too many ASML-specific guidelines for software development (from coding standards, language use, architecture), which lead to a long learning curve and many non-transferable skills.
Keep scope of work and effort required in mind before promising deliveries. And make software development easier.

ASML Interview Experiences

I had the ability to ask my questions during the interview process. To schedule the interview, it took some back and forth. The interviewing manager was friendly and transparent with the ongoing process.

First, you will be pre-screened as a candidate with a phone interview, with questions like: "Why do you want to join ASML?", "What interests you about the position?", and "How did you hear about the position?" Then, you will be contacted to schedule

Recruiter ghosted twice and then scheduled me for on-site. On-site interview was average. Two technical and two behavioral rounds, including a presentation. Interview went well; however, I did not get an offer.
