Pros

The pay and benefits are good but don't make up for everything else. Working here could ruin your career.

Cons

If you report ethics violations your boss will know you did before you're back at your desk. Managment tells everyone that retaliation isn't tolerated. That's not true. Your boss will know and can do anything to you without repercussions. HR will not help you and will tell you you brought in on yourself. Jim Koonmen is better than Ed Brown in some ways and worse in other ways.

Hi - My name is Chantal Beaumont and I am the ASML/Cymer corporate ethics officer. It troubles me to read this post, because you clearly believe that the company has not lived up to its own standards in how it handled your concern. I want to stress that ASML and Cymer take any potential ethics violation very seriously, and indeed retaliation is never acceptable. Ensuring the anonymity of those reporting potential ethics issues is a top priority for ASML. To that end, we make use of an external platform where people can leave a message about potential issues. This system guarantees anonymity and does not make it possible for me or anyone else at ASML to track who left a message. I would appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to look into your specific issue further.
