Pros

People were the best reason to work there. They were the best.

Cons

Bad internal departmental communication. It was like pulling teeth to get anything from any other departments. Very little feedback from middle management about job performance and how to make it better. Per diem allowance makes it very difficult to feed oneself even eating at McDonalds in Europe and Asia. Days off without pay in a downturn minimized ones merit increases and profit sharing. Taking forced time off made it difficult to juggle planned vacations with ones family

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.
