      As good as any place to work in the current economy.

      Pros

      Great place to gain diverse experience in the semiconductor industry. The dominate position that KLA-Tencor holds in it's core product lines ensures solid exposure to the key players in chip manufacturing. It is also a good place to gain global experience, with an emphasis on Asia.

      Cons

      Workload is quite high which drives a fairly dry, non personal work environment. The workload also makes it difficult to manage work/life balance. It also leaves little time for managers to work with employees on career development and coaching. On the other hand some of this is the nature of the industry, and much of it is a direct effect of the current economic situation the world is in.

      American Economic Problems hitting all companys

      Pros

      Largest Semiconductor Manufacturer in the world.

      Cons

      With the current economic situation, raises are not given to ensure more people can keep their jobs. Overtime is not given for time worked with no other compensation given. But this should all pass when the economic problems are fixed, and can go back to the way of the old KT pay.

      A strong company well positioned for the future.

      Pros

      The company has great technology and very good people. KT is a market leader in nearly every market segment in which we compete. We are a global company in a critical industry. We are well positioned to navigate this challenging environment and succeed when the overall business environment improves. The company has expanded into adjacent markets such as green technology (solar and HBLED) and will be able to leverage the historical strengths as we move into new markets.

      Cons

      As a market leader a lot is expected of the teams at KT. We are also compete in a challenging and cyclical industry that requires a lot of determination.
