Pros

Transparency about where we are successful, and where we can improve. Leadership is committed to taking action, and sharing progress over time. Development opportunities are available to everyone and you own your career path.

Cons

Business success influenced by external forces that are outside of the companies control, like trade issues or market cycles. But the company has managed through a tough backdrop this year to deliver solid revenue and good bonus payouts.

Pros

I have been working at Lam for over 6 years and have always been impressed by the people working here. There are so many brilliant people that play a big part in my growth. I work with so many engineers on a daily basis ranging from new to employees that have been here for over 20 years! Core values are very important at this company and it is constantly reviewed. I think Lam has lots of potential in the future so I am excited to be a part of it!

Cons

With high performance comes an intense working environment. It is a trade off but the challenging environment is worth it
