Pros

Lam overall is a great company that strives to maintain high diversity and inclusion standards to make sure everyone gets a fair shot. Not 100% perfect and I'm sure no company is but you can see the genuine effort is still there. Also the benefits and stock purchase options have provided me a considerable boost financially the past 4 years I've been on board.

Cons

Lam does well to try to hire military veterans but could improve on considering our experience to higher level roles, especially for manager positions. I had 20-plus years military experience with 15 of that in some of a leadership role plus a Master's Degree but was only hired on as a junior supervisor experience, a position that required no previous experience and no degree. Meanwhile, individuals with only 10 years of civilian experience are hired on as senior supervisors giving them more opportunities to gain experiences that will make them more competitive for manager and beyond.
