Pros

The compensation was decent, benefits were good but could be better, I really don’t have anything good to say, HR are just there to make sure you don’t sue the company, they will never be on your side

Cons

Toxic team, manager is a people pleaser who just follows his manager who is the devil in person. They retaliated giving a “bad performance review” when I talked to HR, I was OnLY 5 months in the company, they sat me in a room with no one else but the manager and his evil manager, I was barely 4 months in to made like you I was not worthy of anything just because I have a baby and it’s hard to relocate, they expect you to attend to 30 meetings per week and do some work on top of that, they put you on the worst supplier when you are new and blame you because the supplier sucks! It was a blessing to be laid of of that TERRIBLE team I feel sad for the good people that are still trapped there

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.
