Kla Tencor, Inc. Work Values

Daily Duties at Kla Tencor, Inc.:

With my background in electron beams from graduate school I was hired to manage an electron gun development project used in an electron beam semiconductor wafer inspection tool. The electron gun was pre-existing and needed modification for smaller spot size and less vibration on the wafer surface. This required modification of the electrostatic lenses and brazing of multiple ceramic to metal joints in the gun. A team of engineers worked on the project, including several that reported directly to me, plus others that worked in other departments. Weekly and quarterly reporting to management was required. All required engineering specifications were completed on time and on budget.

What they like about Kla Tencor, Inc.:

A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.
