Pros

Lots of room for advancement if you are a go-getter and willing to put in the effort required. If you like technology and innovation, this place has it all. Company truly values and rewards top performers.

Cons

Have to ride through the peaks and valleys of semiconductor cycles in a low-volume niche market. Service group is separate from Product groups which can lead to misaligned goals and financial incentives.

Business Outlook

Pros

Large company with great benefits. In the heart of Silicon Valley with some of the brightest professionals in the world. When times are good for the company they are usually good for the employees.

Cons

Being in the semiconductor industry means large swings up and down. KLA-Tencor is more than willing to cut headcount to satisfy shareholders. The frantic pace of work never seems to let down. Stress at all levels.
