Pros
Extremely challenging problems to solve, many in "bleeding edge" of technology. The "worker bees" are characteristically great to work with, very collaborative.
Cons
The company got large enough that the inputs from bean counters became significant. It seems that once the founders hand over control of a company to others, the goals shift. Rick Wallace's goals are to maximize his personal ROI, no matter what happens to the company. I believe Mr. Wallace's goals are to make KLA-Tencor a good acquisition target ... perhaps for ASML or AMAT.
