Pros

Opportunity to travel extensively especially on short notice. Free coffee and tea in the breakrooms. Decent fitness centers on the San Jose and Milpitas campuses.

Cons

KLA Tencor used to be a great place to work but has gone downhill for years. There is little to no appreciation for hard work and long hours. Air travel is in coach class only, even internationally. There are unreasonable workloads and tight schedules throughout the company with little regard for quality. Cheaper is better, meaning offshoring is where KLA Tencor is headed.

It is doubtful there will be a significant presence in the US in the not too distant future.

Advice to Management

Try to make the rank and file employees feel appreciated. It's not just money, it's recognition and appreciation.
