Pros

The company has had a really good run in the past 5 years or so, fast growth, good bonuses and the rising stock prices have made it worthwhile

Cons

Though I have not been a victim of sexual harassment at Lam, I don't think Lam is a good place to work for women. The culture is very male and old fashioned and I have reason to believe the management does not get it. There is no real understanding of how hard it is to thrive as a woman (except perhaps in HR or finance where there is a critical mass of women). I hope the CEO departure sparks a real soul searching at Lam, not just more lip service to core values.

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.
