KLA Reviews

high pressure from customers, long hours, physically challenging

Low compensation - When answering a question on 7% inflation (CY22) and how KLA is keeping up with it, CEO responded those who work in KLA shouldn't be motivated by compensation. For those who do look for financial motivations should look for other companies. This slipped out 40 mins after saying contradicting statements that KLA is ensuring compensations are competitive. Age Diversity is a problem and often creates project/product hiccups. COVID overworked environment starting to take a toll and compensation is not enough for the extra amount of work put in. They are giving new hires higher base pay but the medium projection will equalize. Some employees who stays long term doesn't really care about company's success. Those who do leaves early due to better opportunities or KLA's inability to keep talent. This company has management problems and cannot be fixed if the head is behaving like that.
