I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ASML (Veldhoven) in Jan 2017
Interview
In the beginning I sent my CV and a cover letter through internet, and one of the recruiters contacted me. After that, I had a Skype interview with one of the hiring managers. The questions were mostly (about 30 mins) about what I have done and how do I react in certain conditions. Also, we spent about 15 mins on technical staff.
Then, I was invited to the ASML's offices for an on-site interview. In the mean-time I had to complete an assessment (ability test, personality test etc). Most of the times, the results from this seem to be very different form what the company is looking for. Don't worry, because you will discuss it with the HR. When I went there for the on-site interview, it started with 1h interview with the HR especially discussing the results from the assessment. Then, I had two interviews (each one lasted almost 1h) with two hiring managers. These interviews were very nice and again there were not too many technical questions. From my perspective, they are trying to make sure that you like the position and you will not quit after 3 months or so.

Question 1
Why ASML ?
Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?
Tell us about something you developed and the problems you faced?
Did you have any conflicts with your colleagues?
Simple Interview. mostly behavioral questions with few technical questions with the manager. The process was smooth and setup with the recruiter. The interview happened a year ago sop the process might have changed.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ASML (Veldhoven) in Oct 2024
Interview
HR screening - asked about generic reasons for applying and other application questions.
Interview with team leaders (online) - detailed 1 hr interview on motivation as well as technical questions about physics of overlay. Job responsibilities and motivation.
3 back-to-back interviews (onsite):
First one with two senior engineers (1hr) in the team. I was given a homework question about overlay. Statistical analysis. It was discussed first. Then followed by very detailed technical questions on overlay tests. I was asked to identify the reason for a test protocol that was provided to me during the meeting. Followed by lot more questions on errors and measurements involved in overlay.
Second interview (30mins) was with the team lead on TE questionnaire that I was asked to fill prior. This was conversational about my personality.
Third interview (1hr) was with the team architect and scrum master. Here they asked me about scenarios which can arise at work and how I would deal with conflicts of interests at work. What was the problem that I dealt with during my PhD. More questions on what kind of workplace suits me the best.
The onsite interview was very intense and being under observation in the same room for 2h30m was quite intimidating. I was told there were 6 candidates being interview for 2 vacancies. It was extremely competitive.

Interview
I applied online through a referral portal. About two weeks after I got a phone call from HR. The phone call was just to confirm that I was interested in the position and to inform me of the upcoming steps. The second interview was a video call with hiring managers about 2 weeks later.
