Pros

Compensation is very good in good times as it is heavily influenced by the results of the comany (variable pay) People are very good. A lot of long time employees.

Cons

There are a lot of politics based upon if you came from Lam or Novellus. In hindsight i think it was lucky for the middle management that the KT merger did not happen.

Pros

Good pay with decent benefits.

Cons

Highly toxic in certain (not all) business units. Directors and above held to far lower standards than employees. I received a lot of abuse from my manager and when I reacted, she used it against me over the course of five years, resulting in my launching an ER investigation upon which resulted in my termination. (They weren't even adult enough to tell me I was being fired; I found out by accident when I received a termination paycheck). Would love to recommend, but would never recommend Lam based on the treatment I got from my entire leadership chain over a five year period. PS, pretty sure retaliation of this nature is against the law; looking into it.
