Great Company to work for in the Bay Area. Centrally located in Fremont. Leaders in Etch Equipment. Lot of young talent. Very Smart engineers.

Cons

Pushy Managers and pushy executives. Company cuts cost like crazy by International travel in coach. not many team building activities. Pros outweigh Cons though.

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.
