Pros

Generally speaking Lam does a good job of keeping employees informed and does not pull punches with employees.

Cons

There is absolutely no Work life balance. If you are needed you will work. If you dont, they will find someone else. The average employee lifespan has to be similar to the NFL, no more than 3-4 years. Additonally, although Revenue per employee is great from a financial standpoint in Lams case it is also indicative of the work load. If you are investing in companies it is probably still a good buy, if you are looking for a place to work be very ready to say good bye to the rest of your life.

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.
