Pros

Great benefits Wonderful work culture where managers listen and strive to make change based on employee feedback Great place to work if you are an engineer.

Cons

They do not support career change within the company. I recently got my bachelor's degree in an IT related field, and since it doesn't align with their main focus (manufacturing and R&D), they have given me little to no support in transferring within the company. I am having to look elsewhere for a job. I would have loved to stay here, and tried repeatedly to see about getting transferred and was constantly rebuffed or outright ignored.

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.
