Pros

Significant autonomy for a Product Management role. Job was heavily decision-making focused. Very diverse responsibilities kept it interesting.

Cons

The position is high stress, and you are thrown in with little training and aren't given the tools to succeed. The stress primarily comes from the decision making, which frequently takes you out of your comfort zone as you become the general "go-to" when others don't know whom to turn to.

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.
