Pros

With the advancements and usage of technology in our everyday lives, Lam Research will continue to grow and have a bright future. I have been at Lam for over 15 years and have seen this company grow beyond my expectations, all the while staying true to the core values that are the true foundation of Lam's success. I have stayed with this company for over 15 years because I truly enjoy what I do and the people I work with. Everyone is dedicated, helpful, and committed to Lam's success. It is a truly collaborative environment.

Cons

The company is over 35 years old and needs to improve on employee on-site benefits; such as, on-site gyms, more parking and EUV parking. I know they are working on it...but would love it to move faster.

Pros

The company is not as political as its competitors and appreciates employee loyalty. Decisions are generally data driven. The culture is pretty positive and nurturing. The core development groups are competent and efficient.

Cons

Scaling is challenging as the company expands. The cafe food is not that exciting although free breakfast oak meal is a plus.
