Pros
Overall a good company. Compensation is decent. Work schedule is rather flexible for an engineer. Not too stressful if one isn't overly ambitious.
Cons
As a high tech company in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Lam Research can't stand up to other great companies in the area, such as Google, Facebook, to name a few. Granted they are in different industries. But the corporate culture should be comparable. Office politics, even in the engineers' circle, could sometimes become frustrating.
