Pros

Solid company the financials are good and have good profit margins. They have a good position in their products in the market that they are in. They have good employee benefits, i.e. a rich health care insurance coverage, good vision coverage, great dental, and 401k plan, they have a nice bonus program as well.

Cons

Small company compared to largest competitor. One bad misstep or one loss of major customer would ruin this company. CEO and senior management is crazy scared about security. Some of the senior managment seems isolated from the rest of the company and out of touch with the needs of it's employees.

Pros

market leader. willing to take risks willing to improve processes. There is lots to learn here for the technically inclined person and learning is considered a key part of your performance. There is pressure to get the job done, but the resources are provided, and no one expects you to kill yourself in the process. Management has been sincere in listening to suggestions for improving how things are done, and supportive when one has to do battle with dysfunctional systems Work/life balance is considered important

Cons

fremont commute. large company with entrenched methods. some people just putting in their time and won't make waves to push improvements in how we do things

Pros

Lam Research is a company that could be described as a big city with a small town feel. It's a company with thousands of employees scattered all over the globe, yet no matter where you are you feel welcomed, part of the team and that you know what the rules of the game are. I think that small town feel is representative of the tremendous amount of teamwork and information sharing that is part of the Lam culture and I think those are some of the best reasons to work at Lam Research.

Cons

If Lam Research finds a proven better way to do something, it will change to do it that way. Sometimes it can be tough to keep up with the constant change that is required in such a competitive industry. The historical industry highs and lows also make it stressful when you're worried about job security during an upcoming "low" period.
