Pros

The technology is fascinating. There is the opportunity to work with outstanding engineers in many different disciplines. The work environment is fast-paced, but not overly harsh. Lots of opportunities for career growth.

Cons

Engineering design activities are not always well planned or coordinated. Every engineer has multiple priorities, and most engineering projects only have 1 engineer per discipline. Faster progress could be made by loading multiple engineers on the same project until it is done, then moving to the next one.

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.
