KLA reviews

Upper management seems disconnected from the employees. Being a large multi-national company it seems that there are disconnects. For example, we are sometimes forced to take some time off in order to help save the company money but in order to cover our contracts we have to fly people in from other sites and pay them overtime.

There is a culture and unwritten expectation to work long days, weekends and give up vacation time. Also expect to deal with emails and phone calls in the evenings and attend conference calls in the middle of the night. Too many layers of management and too much red-tape. Many senior managers are in redundant positions and often seem to create confusing and conflicting messages between execs and the teams doing the work. Formal procedures and processes are taken too far beyond their intent and designed purpose.
