Pros

Take Lam's Mission, Vision, and Core values to heart - because that is what is best for yourself and the company, and in the end the customer - although they are considered 'first' in everything Lam does, and should always be at the top of our conscious thoughts. Be patient. Reserve judgment. Be accountable, and responsible. Be honest. Learn everything, and keep learning daily. Teach others what you would have them teach you. Help others where you would ask for the same help when needed. Overall - fantastic people to work for and with. Don't expect perfection, but strive to achieve it.

Cons

As in any company, some have expectations that they are entitled to be where they are, when all should be thankful and full of gratitude that they have what they have - because many others have much less and continuously struggle to survive.

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.
