Pros

If you start from the very worst, it can only get better?

Cons

I highly recommend you reconsider any offer received from ASM. Firstly, their training program is absolutely abysmal. This is such a frustrating topic for new hires and it amazes ASM still hasn’t managed to figure this out. Additionally, under the new CEO, the climate has shifted to one of fear and short sighted goals. Everything has eroded to the point entire management teams are leaving, forcing the working level to constantly flex to ever changing leaders and priorities. Additionally, career advancement is virtually non-existent. Management is an expert at keeping promotions just out of reach to ensure they don’t' have to pay their workers more. WLB is non-existent; I hope you are prepared to routinely take work calls at 10PM or later. The financial outlook looks bad all around as well – bookings are down across the board and management is scrambling for ways to make this look better than the train wreck it is. I highly recommend you avoid at all costs

Pros

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.

Cons

For sure there are things to improve.
