Pros

LRCX is growing rapidly, and investing now in the talent which will drive that future growth. In addition to competitive salary and excellent benefits, most other employees are genuinely pleasant and enjoyable to work with.

Cons

Onboarding is virtually nonexistent, and assimilation is conducted by jumping right in and doing. Peers, Mentors, and Managers are often too busy (understandably) to help new employees develop the processes needed to do their jobs; a byproduct of such rapid growth.
