Pros

401k match. $300 fitness reimbursement.

Cons

The poor and unethical dielectric etch management keep abusing power and is much better at defaming and pushing out good engineers than developing a product. Their behavior is far from decent, not to mention the company's core values. The core values are just their tool to punish engineers who have disagreement or are not their favorites.

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.
