Pros

The pay and benefits are good

Cons

You are expected to work for crazy long hours until 10 PM and also over the weekend. They expect you not to have a life but to work only. For the past two years, almost half of the people in my group left due to the awful wok-life balance here. Company does not care about your health and expect you to work like a robot non-stop. If you speak up, they say: this job is not for everybody, and others are working with no issue, so you are the problem, so you maybe should start considering something else (meaning you are more than welcome to leave!). You need to be a "yes man" here to become their favorite. So, if you are looking to become a process engineer and like your health and family relationship, do NOT come to Lam Research
