Pros: High tech, challenging, gym and friendly people

Cons: Too many managers, too many meetings (sometimes, meetings about meetings) Too many bosses Some managers need to take Interpersonal courses on how to deal with employees Did I say too many meetings and too many managers around?

Pros: Many extremely talented and competent staff are present at the working levels, including engineers and applications.

Cons: Some VP/SVP/EVPs are clearly incompetent, don't know their own market dynamics, demand situations. Some have major character flaws. They got to their rank bc they just suck up and some EVP love that. Below Director-Sr. Director, you are asked for perfection -- above-beyond performance, be liked by everyone, be known by everyone BUT no such criteria is applied once you pass those ranks. You'll find ppl with major character flaws and significant incompetency at all of VP levels. Under some EVPs, you should just forget promotion bc they are so scared of not meeting PFO targets that they are crazy stingy to give any raise.

Pros: Smart, dedicated employees with integrity who work really really hard for the company are really competent, dedicated, and indispensable employees.

Cons: KLA used to be the leader in compensation and used to boast about compensating employees better than other companies ---hasn't been that way for a long time (5+ years). Now, each time exec management looks for what other comp can they cut (like last year's RSUs).
