KLA-Tencor: a place where thinking is still a good thing!
KLA-Tencor: a place where thinking is still a good thing!
Good thinking is still welcome, and rewarded (moneywise and career-wise).
Work-life balance is totally up to you.
Demanding and challenging projects, but also cool, high-tech and useful. They (should) spur smart people to be creative. Lots of freedom. In general you will find competent technical colleagues.
Too much freedom sometimes. Sometimes not a clear pathway to follow.
Not too much department crosstalking, which sometimes ends up solving the same problems multiple times by multiple people in different projects.
Upper management should be more technical, and more focused on fewer things.
There should be more intra- and inter-department communication.
