I am a contractor who works for them, but have lots of friends working as direct employee. (Netherlands, software engineer mostly)

They pay you 12+1 salaries (1=you get half of your salary as bonus 2 times per year, as vacation bonus).

You get 40 days of vacation (Netherlands has 25 days of vacation standard, %99 of companies)so people are very relaxed.

ASML is able relocate you from another country, moving all your house (I think it was up to €5.000 costs). Bringing family etc. They show you around city, assign a guide to explore city, help for municipality stuff etc.

They also give a temporary (2months) accommodation until you find a place, or until they move your house.

They always hire because they are growing all the time.

They have people working since 20 years or even 25 years.

To me, frankly, it's like the Google of the Netherlands, because some people try to get hired by them and retire there. It's a good company in my experience.




Thanks for elaborating on all the perks, but frankly your posts misses the most important bit of info, namely the salary ranges. I don't care about vacations or relocation package if the salary is mediocre and I have to work there until I'm old (i.e. if they don't pay enough for me to save money and retire early/earlish).


The salary is typically 10% higher than the other big companies in the area (Philips, NXP and Thermo Fisher).

Your expectations about early retirement are probably not met by what they offer.


Do you know if they offer remote jobs?


If you are contractor, it's possible (some contractor companies offer). But it also depends on position.

They are constructing a new building to gather all people working together. So I imagine next year or so they will be more against about remote.
