Lam Research reviews

-Management does not respect their employees. They put their shareholders and themselves first before considering the impact to the employees. They are slave drivers without any empathy. -Limited resources are available for a growing company and expanding lab. This is why engineers suffer - because they have to use what little resources are available - and they do the work of 3 people.

this is a very political workplace where people spend too much time polishing their ppt presentations in hope of impressing upper management at the inevitable weekly / monthly / quarterly review meeting (people seem to spend half their time preparing slides or presenting them in review meetings). there is very little room for decision or creativity at the individual level; in fact creativity and risk taking are generally discouraged. the culture can be pretty aggressive too.
