I had my first interview with HR in October, the next interview was at the end of December. I had an interview with 3 people, 2 scrum masters, and the RTE. The Release train engineer did not show up for the interview. They started the interview in Dutch (I am not Dutch, my name is cleary not Dutch) which was a bit strange and I asked in Dutch if we could switch to English and they begrudgingly agreed. One of the scrum masters started the interview, by telling me he was being let go because they did not have a budget to pay him. That is a good start to any interview. Both of them were unfriendly and most people would consider them rude during the interview. I kept it friendly and professional and smiled during a fairly unpleasant hour. I worked with unpleasant and rude people in the past and usually, they just try to get a rise out of you. I just smiled and powered on. The thing that shocked me was they had no understanding of the lifecycles, and CI/CD pipelines of components in IT systems. I was explaining something related to releasing an iteration and testing and how that relates to the Demo event. And I was interrupted because they did not understand what Git was. You know that feeling when someone uses "IT" language but does not understand any of the concepts. That was the entire interview in a nutshell. In January I did get the feedback and it was in line with the unprofessional way they ran the interview. One thing caught my eye it`s less job skills-related and more like we do not like this guy personally. Tell me if you can see it this is the first paragraph "[...] - he's a bit much! ", " [...]the existing bureaucracy of ASML will burn him out in a few months time.", "[...] but would not fit in this ASML/ART/Team setting.", "He really needs to work on that.", "Also, during the conversation he explained a lot of his answers with examples from programming. I do understand the examples, but most of that is not applicable at ASML." That is how that went.
