Komag make the aluminium/glass platters that go into the hard disk.
When times are good, they are generous a paymaster with good benefits.
Work culture-wise....
I think their use of pagers is excessive to the point of ridiculous.
I was there many years ago and left just before they hit bottom. If I had stayed on I probably would have been earning more than I do now, and too pampered/overpaid/underqualified to be fit for another job....
Komag is a great place to earn money, but I don't like the culture there... too *Malaysian*

a bit defensive and negative....
at least that was how I felt it was a long time ago.
KOMG is a nasdaq listed company, but the CEO was M'sian....
One of the more hare-brained ideas I heard last time was that they wanted to venture into networking optical fibres or something like that...(for the record I do not know what became of that venture).
I remember that TH (the outgoing CEO) was influenced by the brand name Docomo, and wanted to create a subsidiary for his venture and call it...."Kokaho" (Hokkien for "even better").
