KLA reviews

Poor leadership in the IT organization with lots of politics Senior management more interested in keeping their jobs than doing the right thing Management addresses poor execution by consultants by blaming the employees and rewarding the consultants with more business Having been at KLA for so long, did not realize how bad things were until I left and saw how other IT organizations function

- Kafkaesque administration, with lots of little rules and online forms to fill in, on usually very unstable and slow servers, which are very difficult to access from outside the office. E.g.: An expense report for a short 2-days biz trip can take ages to be finished and then even longer to go through expense approval. Be prepared to "lend" Thousands of dollars for 6 or 7 months to the company if you're in for a longer biz trip. - The philosophy is: "in case of doubt, sack first, ask (yourself) questions later"... Or another one: "rules matter more than people". - Like most US companies: hypocrite to the bone; issuing "values" that their employees are supposed to follow, while the company is happily ignoring them. - Not trustworthy; doesn't keep promises (even if they're written down, signed, etc...), unless you really fight for it. - Promotion is not based on merit but on politics
