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.

Pros

It is not very demanding as other companies in the valley. Most of the engineers have been working at Lam for more than 10 years. There are not many people leaving the company because they are either comfortable with the company or they can not find other job since the industry is pretty small compare to other industry.

Cons

There is not much of career development available.There is not much of hiring going on. The company is pretty stable and the employees have very little chance to move around. Since there is not much hiring it is difficult to move up to higher positions.

Pros

No one day is the same. Fast paced, and lots of opportunities to grow and stretch. Great people to work with and learn from - company is on an amazing journey since acquisition of Novellus. Every employee has the opportunity to have significant impact and help shape the future Lam.

Cons

The industry and pace is fierce. There is not a shortage of good ideas and opportunities to engage in...which can make work/life balance a challenge. Very similar to any startup company out to change the world.
