Lam Research reviews

Different quarterly meetings every month. I feel like I am always working on preparing on some quarterly meeting to inform management what business change since a week ago. I seem to have of them after the merger. Also, it feel like the company is less focus on long term growth and more on meeting short term Wall Street numbers to justify the merger. Finally, the layer of management increased after merger and they are still hiring higher level managers while laying off lower level individuals who does the grunt work.

Do not expect much in the way of praise for what you accomplish. Company culture is driven - people work hard and very long hours - it is expected. Values-based culture seems to slip away when senior management is involved. Decision making is a painfully slow process, often leading to endless iterations. The company claims to have a leader based decision process; in fact it is usually consensus with process.
