Pros

Very structured system to manage logistics and escalations. Technical training organization has great leadership to guide individual contributors on doing their best for the interest of both employees and the company. Core values are demonstrated throughout decision making. Supportive management for career development. Frequent all-hands meetings to keep employees up-to-date with the business and directives.

Cons

I haven't encountered any professionally, but I would say that since Lam is a rather old/traditional semiconductor company so it doesn't have some techy, hippy perks (free catered lunch, pet-friendly office, stocked cafeteria, etc.) like other next-gen companies.

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
