After my application online, I was called for first interview . I was given a general introduction of the company by the Engineering Manager. He talked about the design process they follow and how more engineering workforce and team work is needed to optimize and streamline the design process in EDEV. In that interview, my interests and ambitions were discussed. After the first interview, I was sent an online questionnaire/test for psychometric test and timed test for general aptitude evaluation. It took them a whole month to call me for second interview after I inquired about the next procedure a couple of time via phone and email. The second interview was divided in to two sections, each of 1 hour. The first interview was conducted by Senior Engineering Lead and Team Manager. I need to mention here that even after a month of waiting and planning, the interviewers did not prepared for interview and started question on the top of their head on random design processes. The logical thing to be done while interviewing an engineering candidate is to prepare question that goes though all the technical aspects of a job while they kept their questions to 20-30% responsibilities (Mechanical Engineering related) mentioned in the job description. Moreover, the questions were not clear and I had to ask them to re-phrase the questions to get the clear understanding of what was being asked. There was also a point where I mentioned aspects of pre-design process such as Engineering Economics analysis which requires usually more than the capital investment and the Machine Life values to choose an better and feasible product but they seemed to have no idea about it, as they were asking me to choose a product just with these parameters. The last interview, comprising of an hour duration , was conducted by HR generalist who happened to present herself as technical recruiter and asked the typical HR questions along with review of Psychometric evaluation with me. I remember clearly that HR person told me that My evaluation lies within the limits of ASML work place cultural and its totally fine. I asked her at the end about the timeline when i should have some feedback and she told me that she will get back to me at the end of next week. This is where things got interesting. I never heard from her. Being the job candidate, it is my right to check on the status and follow up about the whole recruitment procedure. I started contacting their recruitment support center to ask for feedback once a week, also sent emails to the recruitment support person and lately , the technical recruiter herself. For consecutive four weeks, I never got a single reply from ASML HR. It seems like such an unprofessional and unethical way to deal with people who show interest in your company and I expected at-least a reply like " you application is under evaluation!?" rather they had the audacity to tell me phrases like "sorry for inconvenience" or "we ill try to help you" or "I can see what i can do? ", promising to get back to me and never contacting back. At this time, I knew that they are ghosting me. Finally, after me pushing to get feedback for a almost 35 days, I get a reply that they found a better suited candidate!. I emailed the recruiter back to provide me specific reason/s and got the reply stating : " There was some doubt about the match with the ASML culture". In conclusion, I feel like a company that claims to be diverse and EOE, expecting their employees to work in high-paced environment with stress and deadlines to meet, contradicted their own work place culture with what I experienced. Moreover, even if there is much need of Engineers, as the manager told me in person during interview, I feel like their management and HR department is the actual bottle neck, creating un-necessary delays making the recruitment process unefficient. They need clear, concise and organized approach . As for single engineer recruitment, I know that more than Four HR persons were involved and one of them left ASML during the earlier stages of my application period.
