Pros

I was able to move up in Lam with some efforts on my part. At 1st I was in the Training Department then got the opportunity to move over to tech support in Engineering. Enjoyed the travel and support while assigned and eventually move up to Engineering Manager in Tech Support.

Cons

Travel was a bit much and after some big dips in the industry had to take on lower jobs. I was never able to recover and certain Managers were not truthful and basically deceitful. This was not the hole company as I still enjoyed my time. Was let go while on the road. Should have been brought home as I had to go through trying to get back home and I had the question of will I be paid to go home. HR helped out and got me home with the pay for the days after layoff. Manger at that point did not have my respect.

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.
