Pros

At KLA-Tencor, you'll be working alongside many talented engineers and scientists, and the ones I've worked with are usually willing to share their knowledge and expertise, which is a good thing for personal development.

Cons

It gets stressful here at times, especially during the downturn of the industry. Although it's common practice for semiconductor companies to layoff staff when profit is down, KLA-Tencor has taken it a little too far in this regard. Morale was really low among employees after the second reduction in force. Also benefits are now close to non-existent.

Pros

I worked in the IT department first as a contractor, then a regular employee. At that time it was a great place to work. The IT team was some of the best in the business. I would love to work with some of those same people today. My manager was a good guy. I started when it was still Tencor Instruments and the Internet was taking off. It was a lot of fun, and there was excitement in the air.

Cons

I simply enjoyed it, but I understand that today things are not as favorable.
