Cons

For years, there has been ongoing predatory sexual behavior and harassment at Lam Research, coming from the highest level of management. Martin Anstice has used his position of power to actively pursue and engage in sexual relations with female employees. The extent and severity of this behavior came forward when women who have been subjected to it began talking and recognized similar stories. I was one of these women, and personally know of others. I believe this impacts many women, past and present and is ongoing. There is a common themes in our stories. It starts with Mr. Anstice paying particular attention to one of us, often asking advice for his leadership. He is complementary, and instills a sense of power and career potential. Substantial text messaging ensues until he gets what he wants.

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
