Pros

Good compensation and benefits, no problem there

Cons

Very poor assimilation Extreme amount of web based trainings (WBT) which are pointless. Upon arrival total WBTs are performed arround 2 weeks! Complete waste of time, since most of them are not usable and understandable to the new hires. Proper training for the products of the LAM are joke (and that's nice way of saying it), and, you guess, a waste of time. It is expected that you learn as you go, which is a huge red flag!!! of poor organisation and preparation new employee for upcoming roles. There can be weeks with no assignment, so you have lots time in the company, but not so much experience. Access to needed platforms to perform your tasks is never prepared. You start doing your task and than find out you need access to something (and it's been over a year here!!!), than slam to the wall and wait. What a waste of time. Management is not so active in doing 1on1 meetings, to see is all good... I think i had one or two since I'm here. If you're not german speaker (heavy dialect in this Austrian region!) you'll most likely be on a side

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.
