Pros

Awesome colleagues who are smart, hardworking, driven, and nice. Big corporate training that is good for new colleague grads to start from. Real world industrial problems to solve.

Cons

Lots of politics going on. Favoritism pervails. Learning curve slows down drastically after a few years. Very very very bad work life balance with not enough pay. Management does not value employees enough.

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.
