Pros: Excellent work culture, and a great place to work

Cons: Some times need to work at odd working hours.

Pros: The company has great challenging products and some smart people.

Cons: Low compensation - When answering a question on 7% inflation (CY22) and how KLA is keeping up with it, the CEO responded that those who work in KLA shouldn't be motivated by compensation. For those who do look for financial motivations should look for other companies. This slipped out 40 mins after saying contradicting statements that KLA is ensuring compensations are competitive. Age diversity is a problem and often creates project/product hiccups. COVID overworked environment starting to take a toll and compensation is not enough for the extra amount of work put in. They are giving new hires higher base pay but the medium projection will equalize. Some employees who stay long term don't really care about the company's success. Those who do leave early due to better opportunities or KLA's inability to keep talent. This company has management problems and cannot be fixed if the head is behaving like that.

Pros: Better work life balance compare to bay area. Get to travel for work Good promotional path with decent classes paid by company

Cons: No business class/premium econ travel for international flights Still fly people out to Asia despite Coronavirus (even to S Korea) Low pay and moderate insurance package Talent is leaving
