      DONT WORK IN ASSEMBLY OR FINAL TEST - Anonymous employee Lam Research Employee Review

      Pros

      The pay is decent. Coworkers keep it alive.

      Cons

      Ppe makes working unbearibly hot. Management is micromanagement even in slow season. Say it's cool to be gone for college then criticises you with absenses. Admin and engineers seem to have it made. Everyone above blames everyone below. Preaches quality but tries to cram as many builds and tests as possible into the day. Yells at anyone if they are "too slow" then tells you at meetings to slow it down. Also if you get hired as a temp good luck getting hired on. Know plenty of good techs and assemblers that have worked there for YEARS and are still temps.

      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.
