Pros

Employee gets to "buy" shares of the company at 15% discount with a salary deduction as they no longer believe in giving RSUs and as per company rules, one has to go (above and beyond)*10 to receive a single RSU. If this is really a PROs, not sure

Cons

Where to even begin: - No travel - If you are new and do not have good rapo with the oldies; you are doomed - Managers will allocate you as 0.5 and 0.25 resource to different projects - Your growth is stinted as this a "manufacturing" company so you need to be thorough with your basics, by which I mean, Physics, Chemistry. Mind you, this is not a software company. So run, if you really want to apply your brains to be in this company. If you are up for dirty politics, then this can be the place for you. - Compensation is as good as service based company - Basic infra is missing with no parking space, cafeteria and pantry seating - Upper management has 0 technical knowledge, all they do is roam around from one desk to another or from one meeting room to another.

Pros

Emphasis on values-based culture (mutual trust & respect, honesty & integrity, etc.) FANTASTIC benefits and comp (competitive base salary, great bonus potential, RSUs, PTO) Relatively flexible schedule/ability to work from home for some corporate functions which helps with work/life balance

Cons

Like any large tech company, Lam is subject to boom and bust cycles. The "busts" can be difficult, especially for the impact on employee morale.

Pros

Culture was awesome when I worked there. Loved the people. Great benefits. Bonus twice a year.

Cons

Massive lay off early 2023, looks like they're moving everything to Malaysia to cut cost. I've heard from current employees that the culture is no longer the same.
