Pros

Great company culture as well people. Company spend time in training new employees as well opportunity for advancements. Yearly reviews and salary increases. I worked as an intern in Lam Research. I was well compensated, encouraged to explore my areas of interest within the company, and had a very likable and supportive manager. The downside for me was that the other employers were almost all in their mid 50's or older, making it hard for me to really connect with them and form friendships.

Cons

The best thing about working at Lam is the people. I have worked at Lam for almost 2 years. The thing I like most about coming to work is the friendships I have formed in my all must years at Lam. Lam also is a strong believer in a work-life balance. People at Lam work hard but are also able to enjoy their well deserved time off. Lam also does a lot of great things to support our local communities. For example, Holiday is free food all day long

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
