Cons

+Bureaucratic upper management structure +Lack of accountability +Favoritism, affinity bias, and halo effect can be observed regularly +Disorganized implimentation of new procedures +I question whether some of the safety policies are in place for the companies liability purposes and not necessarily out of concern for employees health and well being. +During slow business periods (semiconductor market fluctuates frequently) Lam lays off the temporary employees and Returning full Time (RFT) employees that. do not perform to their standards +During slow periods there is limited growth opportunities
