Great company, need to build right culture in Lam India

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Challenging & Growth oriented environment. Good people to work with. Employee friendly policies at global level

Cons

Outdated systems & processes being used. Higher level local management need to embrace global culture and empower people to take decisions. Too much of control on things like transport facility, work from home option, team building activities related expenses. Lot of work needs to be done on employee engagement. That said, US management seems committed to improve culture. Only thing is it shouldn't get too late...
