HR team provides unusual leadership

Firmware engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The can be people that are excited about their role.

Cons

HR has a nearly hostile relationship with employees during communication. They take a very aggressive tone. My assumption is that maybe they are trying to get a group of people to leave without needing layoffs.

Innovative Engineering, cubicle corporate life

Mechanical engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to work on some highly innovative Engineering projects here. At least you get paid well.

Cons

It's far too large and corporate for my own liking now. I used to be able to have a lot of time to do meaningful engineering. Now most of it is spent doing meaningless bureaucratic paper work. There's too many program managers who ask for updates and then do nothing to resolve road blocks for you but are happy to get credit for running a "smooth" program. There's no career progression here really. It's just a matter of chance and who above you leaves or what budget allows.

Pros

An excellent company for career development and learning new technology . Global management is committed on SCM, Engineering , Manufacturing , Logistics , IOT, ML , people development and nuturing

Cons

LAM India management really needs to understand that LAM is a Global company and follow the culture . GOPS India Management is not up to the mark and still go by India culture of favourability . The India SCM Leader is a self centered person who fears challenge from Co workers so beware of the toxic culture
