Hey all, Been at KLA for a few years now, primarily in R&D. Lately, I've noticed a definite chill in the air. Hiring seems to have slowed to a crawl for several roles I was keeping an eye on, and some project timelines are being stretched out or even put on hold indefinitely. It's not just my team either, I've heard similar whispers from folks in other engineering departments. Management's been pretty tight-lipped, just the usual "focusing on core priorities" and "optimizing resources." While I get that market conditions can fluctuate, it feels a bit more pronounced than usual. Anyone else picking up on this? Are you seeing similar trends in your teams or departments? Curious if this is a broader company-wide sentiment or if it's just certain areas feeling the pinch. Trying to gauge the overall health and potential future trajectory here.

Yeah, I've been feeling it too. It's not just R&D, the manufacturing side seems to be in a similar boat. Saw a few requisitions disappear overnight last month, and the general vibe is definitely more cautious. Makes you wonder about the overall market outlook or if there are specific internal shifts happening that we're not privy to. Hopefully, it's just a temporary lull and things pick up soon, but it's a bit unnerving to see the pace change so drastically.
