KLA

I was an engineer for several years. Most of my colleagues were very intelligent and experienced; they were a pleasure to work with.

The technology was cutting edge and I learned a great deal and was able to contribute a great deal as well.

Endemic back-stabbing, lying, favoritism, and incompetence among the management at all levels. If you were lucky you might get a courageous person as your immediate manager who could shield you from his dictatorial and out-of-touch-with-reality superiors. If you were unlucky such a person would be your boss.

There was lots of turnover. The best people I knew have already left or been forced out.

Please collect your golden parachutes and leave immediately. We engineers thank you for your consideration.
