Pros: Financial stability of the company, less likely to go out of business even in down-turn. ESPP and RSU are still attractive, the technology is challenging and exciting, overall compensation and benefit packages are decent, engineers are very dedicated and talented, process are mature and effective while rigorous enough

Cons: Losing industry leadership as the competition gets stronger, which keeps downsizing for years to result in a very stressful environment, and politics are getting in the way in business, with limited career growth opportunity as the company is not growing, a glass ceiling can be observed, while senior management experience and caliber got weakened in recent years.

Pros: Fast-paced working environment, involving cutting-edge technologies and much freedom to explore alternative concepts, materials, techniques, etc. Good people to work with and challenge you to grow in your career.

Cons: The fast pace can also be a negative when you cannot explore in depth the concepts of interest; design decisions have to be made on risk assessment and cannot always be backed up with in depth analysis.

Pros: There is a good work and life balance.

Cons: No I had a good experience with KLA
