KLA reviews

With what the company considers a better than average benefit package the salary scale tends to be lower than most. The company has said they want to make employee's happier, but don't follow through on the biggest complaints. Working at development sites and busier sites has little benefit to employees besides more workload than other sites for similar pay. Management policies and upper management goals are typical for a large corp. which means squeezing the little guys for all they have including middle management. An expectation for management positions to last a year at most means there's a big problem that has never been addressed.

The work-life balance is bad because of the constant competition and schedule pressure in the semi equipment industry. Also it is not a very good place to develop a career for software engineers because software is rarely a standalone product/service in this company. No matter how bad the software is, customers are locked in by the hardware.
