great benefits package good compensation including profit sharing with additional variable compensation fast paced and interesting work when business is strong

Cons

no repsect from any level of management for those who wish to maintain a healthy work life balance most decisions, including promotion and variable compensation are politically based, not achievement based

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.
