Working at KLA-Tencor for more than 5 years. Would not recomend it
KLA-Tencor develops complex machines and you are able to work on challenging technical projects.
You can work in an international environment with customers and suppliers across the world.
There are frequent headcount reductions.
Profit before employees. Departments are moved to low cost regions for minimal profits and afterwards this move turns out to give no gain at all.
Constantly downsizing: employees that leave voluntary are not replaced but functions are outsourced to India.
No career opportunities due to a constantly downsizing division.
A typical American mentality with no respect for other cultures.
Benefits are not optimized for local legislation resulting in a less than optimal net income
Do not keep employees in the dark and take quicker decisions concerning headcount reductions.
Talent is supposed to be one of the key values of the company. You should act like it.
