Pros

+Competitive pay +Career advancement opportunities +Great employee benefits +Great principals/core values +Fairly good communication from the upper echelon +Training opportunities +Work social events and team building (Day shift experience) +Travel and remote job opportunities

Cons

+Bureaucratic upper management structure +Lack of accountability +Favoritism, affinity bias, and halo effect can be observed regularly +Disorganized implimentation of new procedures +I question whether some of the safety policies are in place for the companies liability purposes and not necessarily out of concern for employees health and well being. +During slow business periods (semiconductor market fluctuates frequently) Lam lays off the temporary employees and Returning full Time (RFT) employees that. do not perform to their standards +During slow periods there is limited growth opportunities

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.
