Pros

Excellent pay and benefits. Great technical challenges. Fast paced environment.

Cons

As with many companies, office politics were over bearing. There was a great sense of a "good ol' boys club" and if you did not belong, you did not have much hope for bonus, raise, or being retained through a downturn.

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.
