Pros

The engineers are great people. They are hard working, intelligent, and friendly.

Cons

-Management does not respect their employees. They put their shareholders and themselves first before considering the impact to the employees. They are slave drivers without any empathy. -Limited resources are available for a growing company and expanding lab. This is why engineers suffer - because they have to use what little resources are available - and they do the work of 3 people.

Pros

Good pay with decent benefits.

Cons

Highly toxic in certain (not all) business units. Directors and above held to far lower standards than employees. I received a lot of abuse from my manager and when I reacted, she used it against me over the course of five years, resulting in my launching an ER investigation upon which resulted in my termination. (They weren't even adult enough to tell me I was being fired; I found out by accident when I received a termination paycheck). Would love to recommend, but would never recommend Lam based on the treatment I got from my entire leadership chain over a five year period. PS, pretty sure retaliation of this nature is against the law; looking into it.
