Pros

Great place to work, total benefits and room for advancement and growing in your field of endeavor. One of the best firms in Silicon Valley to be at.

Cons

Down cycles in the industry can be brutal and may result in layoffs. The tool companies are the first to feel a down turn with cancelled orders or deferred deliveries and are always the last to recover because companies are cautious about investing in new spending on Capital Equipment.

Pros

Overall a good company. Compensation is decent. Work schedule is rather flexible for an engineer. Not too stressful if one isn't overly ambitious.

Cons

As a high tech company in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Lam Research can't stand up to other great companies in the area, such as Google, Facebook, to name a few. Granted they are in different industries. But the corporate culture should be comparable. Office politics, even in the engineers' circle, could sometimes become frustrating.
