I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at ASML (Eindhoven) in May 2018
Interview
Twice with phone interview in total 4 hours. Then again 3 hours of face to face interview in Veldhoven. Later they couldn't identify what type of candidate they required for this role in the first 4 hours of interview. During face to face interview they suggested that I am not suitable for the role due to lack of theoretical work. Interviews needs to grow up and first read carefully the CV of the selected candidates before considering for the role
I have interviewed with this company twice, and both recruiter screening calls were disappointing. The recruiters seemed disconnected from the technical aspects of the roles and focused almost entirely on checking boxes and aggressively pushing for a salary number. In one case, I was even told, "I don't want to waste time—just give me a number."
In my experience, recruiter quality at other semiconductor companies is significantly better, with conversations centered on understanding a candidate's background, skills, and motivations. Here, the process felt transactional, and the compensation discussions were well below market rates. Fortunately, the hiring managers and engineering teams were professional, respectful, and much more engaging than the recruiting experience.
