Pros

Benefits, specific teams work well together

Cons

Numerous teams are siloed. Communication and cooperation between various teams is severely lacking. Leads to overwhelming process and workflow timelines as well as finger pointing between teams and individuals. Management is either 15+ years with Lam or <5 year. Leads to vastly conflicting ideologies and cultures within teams and groups. Work life balance has declined rapidly within last 5 years. And with layoffs and outsourcing most of the manufacturing overseas, the silo-ing of teams, poor communication, and management has run rampant. HR and ER cases are seldom responded to in a timely manner and retaliation for reaching out to HR regarding workplace is rampant as well.

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.
