      Although growth may have slowed, Lam has an overall healthy culture and solid management.

      Pros

      Very competitive pay and benefits, including a 6 week sabbatical awarded after 5 years of service. The culture is driven by example from top management and is well thought out. It has been very successful in increasing and maintaining market share in Etch.

      Cons

      Lam has had a difficult time in expanding beyond their core product line of dielectric and conductor etch process tools. If you're working on one of the new products, be careful about expectations of management, roles, responsibilities, goals and objectives.

      Terrible manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunities to support global activities

      Cons

      Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
