      A once great company in transition

      Pros

      Kla-Tencor still has some interesting work. The managers at the mid level are good. Most of the individual contributors are excellent. For the phase the company is in the compensation is not bad.

      Cons

      Not really a downside but those that were here a decade ago would not recognize the company. This is a company in transition from growth to sustaining. That's okay but we just need to admit. Cost is king. Sometimes time to market takes a back seat to cost. The pay is average. It's difficult to hire good engineers because of that.

      Good people, hard work prepare you for next job, internally or externally.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work with very good, smart people, lean org gives chance to streatch skills to next level, rotate to muliple areas, Senior Ops managment focused. Rest gives you a chance to build skills by quick rotations to gain diverse experience. This will allow you to improve skills\resumes prior to next job internally or externally.

      Cons

      lean org, lack of common financial tools for forecast and analysis, lack of leadership\vision in finance managment. There has been gap in strong leadership in finance group since John Kispert moved to Operations. Lack of direction, focus on purpose, value add to organization is tough to come by in resent years. Upper finance managment lacks abilty to force up or out mentality with senior leaders who struggle to build good teams.
