Pros

Before the new CHRO and CEO took up their positions , the old ASM was a great company to work for. Employees were treated with trust , respect and former leadership cared for their team members authentically

Cons

Look at the high no of leadership folks in Singapore who have either been asked to leave or forced out of the company. The new leadership is getting rid of the old ASM culture , instead replacing it with a culture driven by fear , distrust and a common practice of sabotaging your own reportees to look good. New Managers/ Senior Managers and Corp Directors in Asia (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, SG ) only care about protecting their image , and would not hesitate to blame their reportees for anything that goes wrong. Everyone feels extremely put off by the new culture that has since taken over with the new CSuite and this is made clearer by how their cunningly lay top performing people off just because of politics. They reward people who are going to support them without fail. A lot of our new senior managers across Asia are just here for the pay and title and not truly to help ASM grow

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.
