Pros

Very structured system to manage logistics and escalations. Technical training organization has great leadership to guide individual contributors on doing their best for the interest of both employees and the company. Core values are demonstrated throughout decision making. Supportive management for career development. Frequent all-hands meetings to keep employees up-to-date with the business and directives.

Cons

I haven't encountered any professionally, but I would say that since Lam is a rather old/traditional semiconductor company so it doesn't have some techy, hippy perks (free catered lunch, pet-friendly office, stocked cafeteria, etc.) like other next-gen companies.

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.
