Pros

I have been at Lam for over 17 years and when I am asked why I have stayed here so long, I realize how special this company truly is. It's a company that provides you a growth path and supports you all along the way, it's a company filled with some of the smartest and most devoted employees in any industry, and it is a company with amazing leadership. I have always felt supported not only from a growth perspective but from a peer perspective...we all work together to enable our success as a company and that speaks to the strength of Lam's Core values. We all spend more time at work than we do at home, so it is important to work for a company you believe in, I believe in Lam and I have a great second family here to boot!

Cons

The industry has peaks and troughs that can be challenging to navigate in.

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.
