Pros

Coworkers are great. It is a thriving industry for the time being.

Cons

Weak management; never had a one on one interface with my manager in six months. I was working as a temp. through Superior and was trained and working as a backup lead, but was told it could be two years before being hired on full time. Ultimately, if you're not hired direct through a veterans preference programs you're going to have a rough time getting an actual position. They are also are very disorganized for a tech. company, with little to no "rollout" for new programs. Specifically, if they have a new safety policy, they don't take the proper steps to implement; they would rather reprimand than train. I was also promised a training bonus, and I trained two individuals, but I never received said bonus. I would avoid unless you have a guaranteed way of getting hired on (Veteran, Nepotism, etc.).

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.
