      Horrible Management

      Pros

      Competitive pay and benefits compared to other companies in the industry. Can have a good career path if you are an engineer.

      Cons

      Horrible executive team. They give zero respect to employees and scream at you constantly making it miserable to work at. There are way to many levels to get things approved that it slows down business. Extremely top heavy.

      Pros

      Great benefits but not great pay compared to the hours you work each week.

      Cons

      Lam research are selective to who the core values apply to. Core values only apply to non management level employees because they are an easier target. HR is a joke, they are useless when someone goes to them for help or advise . Also very bad internal communication

      Pros

      Lam offered me my first job in the US and a 14+ year career that has been challenging and extremely rewarding. As a female engineer and a foreigner, I feel privileged to be part of a company that has supported my professional growth, appreciated my contribution and fulfilled me beyond my expectations. This is a company made of people truly passionate and skilled, a company with a world class executive team, that matches the quality and integrity of every other level. There is no other way to perform and grow the way Lam Research has done so, if not for the extraordinary vision of the leadership team and the skilled and motivated workforce. There is no way to deliver, year after year, unprecedented results if there wasn't an environment of respect, trust, and teamwork. It has been an honor to be part of the company under the leadership that raised the bar during the past years, that inspired us to execute what seemed impossible, that made us believe in our collective power and that changed the lives of thousands of people through stock performance and profit sharing. I look forward to many more years at Lam, to the opportunities ahead and the fortune to work with and for, remarkable people.

      Cons

      Opportunity means hard work, high level or performance means hard work.. if you understand that, you will thrive at Lam
