Pros

Lam has been a great company to work for so far. I’ve been with them for over a year and they have been growing at an incredible rate. If you enjoy a fast paced constantly changing environment than assembly work is for you. If your attendance is good and you strive to learn as much as possible as fast as possible you will most definitely be rewarded.

Cons

Considering the amount of temp workers there now, it will likely take a newcomer a long time to be hired on. Management can be somewhat shifty - they tend to play favorites with people who they know outside of work but that most likely goes for most places. There isn’t a lot of room for opinions or suggestions among most leads and supervisors. They really don’t treat most of their subordinates with the respect that they deserve. I’ve had a good experience so far but Ive seen others hung up to dry for no good reason.

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
