r/ASML

I recalled hearing something like they would tell us in June or July and then there wont be any interviews in July due to summer holidays but I dont know if thats the correct timeline and if its still valid

Things have been changing so much that I am not sure if the timeline i mentioned is correct

I have an interview tomorrow for FLS production engineer - mechatronics & test conpetency. Any advice from current employees or people who have interviewed in the last would be greatly appreciated

Hi everyone,

As a community that values "Buy European," I’ve been thinking: supporting our economy isn't just about the products in our shopping carts, but also about the companies that keep Europe at the top of the global value chain.

I want to highlight ASML (Netherlands). While many of us focus on consumer goods, ASML is the only company in the world capable of making the EUV lithography machines required for advanced chips.

Why it fits this sub:

Purely European Heritage: Born and bred in Veldhoven, Netherlands.

Economic Impact: It supports a massive ecosystem of thousands of European high-tech suppliers.

Market Performance: It has been one of the most profitable and high-performing stocks in Europe recently, proving that "Made in Europe" can dominate the global tech sector.

Supporting ASML (even through a small share) feels like a vote for European Technology Sovereignty. It’s the backbone of our digital future.

Has anyone else looked into "investing local" as a supplement to "buying local"? I’d love to hear your thoughts on other European industrial giants like Siemens or Schneider Electric that embody the same spirit.

Disclaimer: This is for discussion on supporting European industry, not professional financial advice.

Throw away account!

Recently I have applied on a job opening that requires 0-2 years of relevant experience. I currently have 5+ years of experience in an engineering role with more responsibilities than the open vacancy. Im fluent in English & Dutch. No gaps in my resume, high gpa, worked for a fortune 500 company. Had many internships for both suppliers of Asml and end users(fabs). One of my internships even put me on the patent for the proces I co-developed. I also have 4 years of hands on experience in clean rooms working with asml products. Yet all my application get auto declined around midnight. I match all relevant skills/keywords from the vacancy. I have applied multiple times just to see what happens and the result is the same every time. Im 100% sure their just collecting data or some other scheme. How can a company that screams for more technical employees on the news auto deny application of qualified personnel.

Btw I have also applied for vacancies that ask for more experience also auto denied. Im currently employed and was just testing if statements on this sub where accurate and yes they are. Its not your problem you can not find a job its ASML. Its a shit company with a Philips mentally. It will end up as Philips or worse in the future. Any of you had similar experiences?

Those machines are our breakthrough, we worked on making them for very long years, he is the ceo since some months ago, he doesn't get to own OUR success and fire the actual owners of it.

We deserve a better leader.

We are way more important than the entire board of management, I mean an entire country like Belgium did not have a government for 2 years, and they are still a country.

No forced layoffs.

The results are announced, social plan is 1 month per year, extra payments for higher age group, voluntary leaving scheme, support with finding work and training budget..

How do you feel about it?

Let's be real about what ASML management is actually doing. Starting with "manager" cuts in DE is just the setup. DE isn't customer-facing, so it's a safe place to start without causing external panic.

The real goal is getting that 2-year plan locked in now so they can quietly gut the more customer-exposed factory and CS later. We already know part of production is moving to Asia. Management is terrified of the customer fallout when they finally slash those exposed departments. If they get a 2 year plan signed today, they won't have to negotiate a new one when things actually get messy.

This 2 year plan is a blank check for future layoffs.

The older you are the more money you receive, this doesn't make any sense. The unions say they want it because it is more difficult for older employees to find a new job, but in reality they just want to satisfy their members (majority of the union members is 50+). I wonder however whether this age discrimination is legal, if brought to court...

Seems like the unions and asml came up with a proposal. I understood that there will be voting on the proposal.

From what I see the people are pretty unhappy with the proposal(and rightfully so). Do you think the proposal gets rejected during the voting ? And they have to go back to discussions again ?

What would be the timeline of execution ? Since it seems like the proposal is not officially finalized till voting. Do you see this getting delayed more and more ?

Chat gtp en Google hebben me antwoord, maar ik begrijp het nog steeds niet. Waarom is het zo moeilijk om te doen wat asml doet?

Kan iemand me dat uit leggen, ik heb geen kennis van complexe begrippen, ik snap wat ASML maakt, en hoe precies het werk is. Maar niet waarom het niet gekopieerd kan worden door derde net genoeg geld?

With Trump bringing along all his big tech CEOs what do you think the chances are Xi will demand a lift of EUV export restrictions as part of any deal the US might try to strike?

I got an offer and they told me that they’re gonna do some background check. What to expect? They told me to wait for a message with some questions. What kind of questions? Should I be worried as a holder of the passport of the country which isn’t really welcome anywhere? 🥲

So not that i want anyone to get harmed, but i think its a fair question for an impacted person, shouldnt data validation be also done the other way around? I mean if there are people who are not doing any engineering and are still called engineer after the data validation, does not that make it quite unfair for the impacted pool?

Edit: today people had their data valuation results, some people had their title changed to engineer, most people didnt.

Did anyone get a job profile validation from Architect to Engineer? If yes, give an upvote! Share your views!
