Vantaggi

+ New office. + Slightly better pay, but may come at a cost given the cons overwhelmingly outweigh the pros.

Svantaggi

- Hire & fire culture/approach at its finest. If 0 or negative star for overall rating was possible, the company & the bosses would deserve it. - "We Care, We Innovate, We Deliver" values & "ACE" (Accountability, Collaboration, Empowerment) behaviours are just paper talk only. The company doesn't have it's own DNA/culture & doesn't embody/live by the said values and/or behaviours. - Top management are incapable, hypocrites, don't lead by example & don't walk the talk. They don't even talk/collaborate with one another, but unreasonably expecting the subordinates to overcome the impossible department silos all by ourselves. - Majority of the top management/bosses are not groomed internally, but just parachuted in from external & have no clue/direction on what they want for their organisation/what is needed for the good of the company. - Office politics are rife & turnover rate is very high. Every year there is likely to be top management who get axed & when it happens, the whole organisation under will get eliminated as well. - Corrupt culture, no transparency when it comes to recognition & promotion. The incumbents/long time employees has mastered the art of manipulating data/results for the sake of pleasing/boot-licking the new, incapable, inexperienced (and perhaps, naive) bosses/top management - partly due to no shared database/single source of truth. - No collaboration across departments at all levels from the very top down to the very bottom. No work gets done, everyone is just pushing the work around until the last/unfortunate party has no choice but to clean up the whole mess/tank the workload. - Super messy & very manual systems. No database, most of the logs/data/information are recorded manually either on paper/excel file.

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.

Vantaggi

Used to be great, we are still holding hope the board will boot Hicham, however unlikely.

Svantaggi

The change once Hicham took over was dramatic. He was a competent CTO but as a CEO he is clueless and terrible. He is holding on to an overinflated stock price while stuffing upper management with his like minded buddies (look at the top management...zero diversity). Long term this will ruin the company, he will just sell it off and blame everyone but himself like he always does. Every week there is yet another horror story about the way he treated someone at a meeting and employees are getting squeezed from all directions...I mean downgrading travel to basic economy and slashing per diem while the stock is high is great! What will you cut once the stock tumble? Perks are gone, STI and LTI have decreased unless you are one of his dudes. He is the smartest CEO ever, wanted to hire a bunch of H1B holders for low pay (nothing wrong with H1B holders, he just wanted to take advantage. I would have bounced to a higher paying job the moment I got my green card, taking my know-how with me). It is so so sad to see how a decent company is completely ruined by ONE PERSON
