Pros

Mid-level managers and directors tend to be technically sound and detail-oriented, making it a decent place for new grads to get their feet wet in the industry

Cons

The product portfolio has a very heavy dependence on the memory market and China Overhired before-and-during the early months of COVID, then empathized 1) lean operation, and 2) cost cutting over the last 2~3 years Below average work-life balance ; lacks automation in the simplest work-flow

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.
