Exciting and great place to work!

Business Outlook

Pros

I have worked at Lam for almost 15 years. In that time I have had the opportunity to learn, grow my career, meet amazingly talented and devoted individuals, and be a part of a company that has a direct impact on the products I use daily. Being a mom of two young children, I also appreciate the flexibility I have. I do work hard, but I also have time to be a mom.

Cons

The offices can use an update.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good culture, solid company. People are generally happy to be there although many do complain about how fast paced it is. I think the pace is fine and actually a little slower than other companies in the valley.

Cons

Not enough benefits. For those who joined years ago, they lucked out with the sabbatical and the stock appreciation. For those who joined recently, the pay isn't as competitive as other places and there are few fringe benefits.

Pros

Nothing, as I see on the positive side

Cons

Dumb work, firing without any reason, contractors are not human beings, they are treated like slaves, monkeys, donkeys or whatever u say...no training, they expect u to be a genious without guiding u even if u r new joinee, worst place in the world to work, u will feel suffocated and dying...lot of discrimination between permanent and contractors, on annual day the permanent employees will party somewhere in a resort and contractors have to work for 9 hours...permanent employees treat contractors as they themselves are jailors and contractors are criminals...join here if u want to experience these sweet things....
