Pros

The company is pretty stable and the environment is low stress and flexible.

Cons

The Santa Clara site is old, shared with the Agilent site, and it had a rat problem. There are mostly older workers here and there are some people who do not know or show common courtesy, such as holding the door open for people when they are right behind you, for one. There are many cost cutting activities going on, with the operational work off-shored to Malaysia.

Pros

One star for the amazing people, one star for paycheck.

Cons

When I left, it took at least a month to decompress from the toxicity. KGM reorgs were a regular occurrence (5 in a 2-year span, for example) resulting in colleagues reappearing in roles in which they have no experience or disappearing all together. This created a culture of constant backstabbing and insecurity. Leadership picked favorites, ignoring the talents of many and this was reflective in bonuses. They undervalue and lose a lot of talented people, and it continues in spite of their recent positive quarterly reports. Reactionary marketing strategies result in a lot of wasted time and work. Read the rest of the reviews before taking on a role here. You will see a pattern.
