Operation is for maximizing gross margins. Good for investors, but at expense of employees.
Pros
If you are fresh out of college and cannot find any other job, probably can take a job at KT as a stepping stone.
Cons
KT is well ran operation for sole purpose of maximizing gross margins. Great for investors, but not for employees. If you have experience in semiconductor industry (anything but capital equipment), stay away from KT. KT's technology is building tools, with zero knowledge on semiconductor processing. So when reviewers says great technical place, they means electronics and mechanical. KT might be able to make competitive inspection tools, but they really have no idea how the tools is really used by customers. And they don't value yield/defectivity/process expertise who can make the connection with customers. And at the end of the day, all management cares about is gross margins. It is well run machine cranking out tools with highest pricing at cheapest cost. Good for investors. But the worst environment for employees.
