Pros: The technology is awesome, and KLA is a market leader.
The work is interesting in the initial 1-2 years, applications engineering is a lot of travel - which again, is fun initially.
Cons: Jobs get repetitive - there is only so much you can learn about a tool. Travel is endless - 85% travel is expected. If you don't want to travel, there are people in India and China happy to do it, so your job is easily expendable. The politics in the applications group can be annoying, and the managers are not necessarily chosen on merit.
