Pros

OT pays, comprehensive benefits, lots of training and documentation, hardworking colleagues.

Cons

Multi-tasking is essential in my department, and it was very difficult to go on long leave (>1 weeks). Senior business support is expected to figure out the processes and requirements and came out with improvement ideas to add value immediately upon join. Otherwise, they brush you off quickly and will consider terminate you. They would deem you as inefficient for working OT even that is to meet business requirement. Overall, it is a toxic working environment with harsh feedback, micro-management and unrealistic expectations to work fast and highly accurate within tight deadline, at least that was my experience.

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.
