Pros

Nothing, as I see on the positive side

Cons

Dumb work, firing without any reason, contractors are not human beings, they are treated like slaves, monkeys, donkeys or whatever u say...no training, they expect u to be a genious without guiding u even if u r new joinee, worst place in the world to work, u will feel suffocated and dying...lot of discrimination between permanent and contractors, on annual day the permanent employees will party somewhere in a resort and contractors have to work for 9 hours...permanent employees treat contractors as they themselves are jailors and contractors are criminals...join here if u want to experience these sweet things....

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.
