Pros

The flexible work schedule is nice. You typically know what is on the ajenda a day in advance and can schedule activities around work. This is a Field Service job so some travel is required. Probably 4 weeks a year at most. In Dallas most of your work will be supporting fabs in the DFW area. ESPP. Profit sharing when the company is profitable. Car allowance is nice. Internet is paid for up to $50. Company provides laptop and blackberry.

Cons

Lack of exposure to equipment can make OJT very slow and difficult.

Pros

Money-surely not the working environment! Excellent engineering teams (whats left of them). Overall impression from outside company that KT excels in technology.

Cons

Very poor customer ratings/relationships, difficult to join the "chosen few" club. Days of superior R&D work are gone---company is now into "bottom feeding" for purposes of eliminating competition. Downsizing is causing exodus of not only deadwood but valued talent. New talent mostly coming from exploited 3rd world labor--growing teams of obedient worker bees.

Pros

If you want to change jobs, there are so many divisions that no matter what you want to do, there is a place for you. You do not need to look outside the company, as each division has its own management style and culture that is completely unique. Benefits are great. Even the layoff packages are generous.

Cons

You and your accomplishments can get lost in this big company. You must be active in getting your name out.
