      An Average place for average people

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Suitable company for someone who likes to work within structured well defined boundaries. The salaries arent great but arent terrible either. One doesnt have to work too hard.

      Cons

      One of the worst places to start a career. Incredibly political environment, but if you are a minion you wouldnt know about it. Not a place that fosters creativity or driven people. Just a place where average people do average things.

      KLA-Tencor, a once innovative company now at the mercy of bureaucrats

      Senior systems design engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Financial benefits for high performers can be substantial if recognized by upper management. With time as the company transitioned into the more typical corporate America model, work/life balance improves such that no one is expected to work 50+ hours each week in order to succeed.

      Cons

      KLA-Tencor is a company in the decline. Innovation is history, and bureaucracy dominates daily operation. The company was founded on innovation, but it is currently being sustained by a process-driven, slow corporate structure. The need to grow the stock price in a declining industry forces the company into strategies that effectively limits career growth.
