Pros

Great work place, Great people, Great salary, Great proportion of males to females. Horizontal structure between management and employees. Not many over time work.

Cons

As you might know, Lam research is an engineering company. But you cannot do engineering jobs, because it's confidential. I understand that, but I think many of applicants would expect to do some engineering jobs at Lam Research.

Pros

pay and benefits competent top executive team (and next level mostly)

Cons

lack of opportunities in some areas, conversely opportunities for advancement are better in areas such as finance, etc.. politics/group-think in some groups experience will mainly depend on your manager - there is a very wide range in competence and people skills. there are some well respected, competent, high integrity managers who are the key to survival, conversely there are unbelievably horrible ones at high levels too

Pros

Pay is above average in the industry though not the best. Good benefits. Good plasma ecthing technology, this is somethink one would like dispite too many cons.

Cons

-Primarily Single product company, possibly sink in case competitor innovate. -Highly political environment, you spent more time watchin back than doing engineering work. -Process/product engineering job hijacks life and significantly impact work life balance. -Good work is rarely appriciated unless you are in close political circle. -To many middle managers ( Sr engineers manageing Sr engineers!!) doesnt let clear vision go to engineers level. -
