I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at ASML
Interview
The interview process consisted of several stages. Initially, I was contacted by the hiring manager who initiated the process by discussing my work experience and motivations for joining ASML. This initial conversation set the tone for subsequent interactions.
Following that, I had an interview with the group leader where we discussed my past experiences, notable projects, and why I believed I was a suitable candidate for the role. Additionally, a significant portion of this interview focused on technical topics such as C++ concepts (including memory allocation, data structures, and object-oriented programming), Linux proficiency, and design diagrams.
After the initial interview, I progressed to a final round comprising five interviews, two with managers and the remaining with engineers. These interviews followed a similar structure, with approximately 30% of the time spent discussing my past experiences and the remainder dedicated to technical questions. The technical questions in this final round were notably more challenging and required a deeper understanding of concepts than in previous rounds.
Overall, the interview process was thorough and rigorous, encompassing discussions about both my professional background and technical expertise. This comprehensive approach provided a holistic assessment of my suitability for the role at ASML.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q. What's Cpp special for?
Q. What is dynamic allocation? How to do it? Why? What is the difference between stack and heap memory?
Q. What is memory leak? How do you check if there is memory leak? How to prevent?
Q. What is linked list? What's the difference of linked list and array? How to implement it? How to reverse it?
smooth and good. managers are nice. I felt very respected. they introduced themselves very carefully. very good experience. it's just a company making people want to join them very much
Phone interview. Then On site interview or MS Team Interview. They ask your school. Likely they prefer good school. My background like in what industry lately. Questions like how much I know their company, their product. Explain position requirement.
Three video rounds. Technical rounds were rushed, bouncing from one topic to another seemingly looking to check the box on whether you know this or that as fast as possible. At times difficult to understand interviewers. Very little patience to just let you do what you need to do on code screeners or arriving at an explanation. Overall a rather disappointing and tedious experience.
