Vantaggi

The initial starting salary is decent. Plenty of overtime (OT) opportunities, though honestly, it is starting to ruin any sense of work-life balance. The ALD technology is good, but it's uncertain how long this technological advantage will last. Other equipment lines are quite lackluster. The company experienced rapid growth in the past, but the growth rate is currently on a steady decline. Severely lacking in internal stability and infrastructure. It is hard to believe a company of this size uses such outdated IT/management systems. Extremely frequent turnover of managers, especially at the VP and C-levels.

Svantaggi

Extremely low salary increase rate (averaging around 1%, and under 4% even with a promotion). Excessive overtime work. Severe discrimination between core and non-core teams (mostly affecting FEMS/ASM Singapore employees). No RSU or ESPP benefits offered to general employees. Stock options (LTI - Long Term Incentive) are strictly limited to Job Grade 18 and above. Upper management treats subordinates like slaves or easily replaceable parts. Extremely frequent layoffs (conducted quarterly, bi-annually, and annually—totaling over 7 times a year). Severe micromanagement with an excessive amount of reporting materials required. No clear ownership of tasks; managers are only busy dodging responsibilities. Overly obsessed with cost reduction. Employees are evaluated purely by numbers (Revenue, Sales, Manufacturing Volume) and treated as cheap consumables, much like disposable latex gloves. Supply Chain Management (SCM) is severely deficient. While competitors are paying premiums to suppliers to meet semiconductor hyper-cycle demands, this company is strictly busy negotiating prices and cutting costs.

Vantaggi

ASM is not for everyone. And I do not mean it in either positive or negative way. It is just the way it is. We believe in the semiconductor business outlook fueled by AI demand. We believe in keeping the talent density to drive progress. We believe in hard work and at times you have to go above and beyond. We believe in excellence. And we are fanatic about it. And this is what I have seen during my long tenure here. I have seen great progress where ASM breaks through silos and as one cohesive team working together to deliver for our customers. And this progress will not happen with small and incremental changes. It requires bold transformation driven by our C-level leaders. And with every transformation there are challenges and there are opportunities, there are supporters and there are those who would like to keep status quo. I have seen great opportunities given to people who believe in our cause and deserve it. I am not saying that we did all the right things. I believe we made many good decisions, and we did make mistakes as a human does. But without change there is no progress and without progress there is no success. And we respect those who decides to join and stay with us in this transformation journey as we respect those who decide that this is not their usual cup of tea and withdraw. This is us. This is ASM as I know it. And I am enjoying every single bit of it.

Svantaggi

For sure there are things to improve.
