      Pros

      Pay is above average in the industry though not the best. Good benefits. Good plasma ecthing technology, this is somethink one would like dispite too many cons.

      Cons

      -Primarily Single product company, possibly sink in case competitor innovate. -Highly political environment, you spent more time watchin back than doing engineering work. -Process/product engineering job hijacks life and significantly impact work life balance. -Good work is rarely appriciated unless you are in close political circle. -To many middle managers ( Sr engineers manageing Sr engineers!!) doesnt let clear vision go to engineers level. -

      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.
