      A place where successful people want to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The best thing about working at Lam is the people. I have worked at Lam for 20 years. The thing I like most about coming to work is the friendships I have formed in my 20 years at Lam. Lam also is a strong believer in a work-life balance. People at Lam work hard but are also able to enjoy their well deserved time off. Lam also does a lot of great things to support our local communities. For example, the Heart and Soles 5k race to support the YMCA and Boys and Girls club to help promote exercise and healthy eating for local youth.

      Cons

      This is a good problem to have but Lam's growth is happening at such a fast rate that we are struggling to keep up with customer demands.

      Dream job, especially for early career

      Mechanical engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The mentorship you receive is world class. My knowledge as an engineer has sky rocketed since I joined a year ago right out of college. You are given a broad range of projects, never a dull moment. You will be challenged with hard engineering problems but again, you have excellent mentors and many fantastic resources to help you succeed. If you are interested in, Lam also covers further education costs (e.g. part time masters). Lam core values are a big deal. I've always felt respected even as a minority, new college grad.

      Cons

      Literally none. It's my first job out of college. I saw myself working in the semiconductor industry but after working at Lam for a year, I can see myself working here for many years to come.

      "You can't even get an interview without a Ph.D," according to some

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart, ambitious people, cutting edge technologies, opportunities to learn, etc. Good benefits and food.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, dielectric etch operates more like a NAVY battle station than a business; if one mistake is made, expect to be blasted with foul language, like a new recruit! This is NOT professional! A few, but not all, 'lifers' who have never had any other job other than in etch tend to have big mouths and egos, unfortunately. I was told "...you can't even get an interview here without a Ph.D, and it should be from MIT, Illinois, Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, CalTech, etc." This elitist mentality makes for a challenging work environment at times, despite core values. I believe hard work brings forth success, regardless of how prestigious the pedigree you may or may not have, so be sure not to listen to the arrogant ones!
