Pros

Great medical and dental benefits. Employee stock purchase plan. Great place to work if your not trying to advance your career

Cons

The company over the last 5 to 6 years has lost their way. Quality and standards are lower then before. No more RSU's as part of their employment benefits. Management is terrible and does not recognize workers good or bad. Solid to work at for a steady 2 to 3% raise year over year

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.
