      Pros

      * The facilities themselves are quite nice, think on-site cafe, gym (under construction), clean, safe * Good management of software, hardware, and general IT maintenance. * Working remotely is a breeze -- good VPN * Most of your coworkers are friendly and willing to help. You can Skype someone you don't know and they will still do their best to assist. * Fun employee events * I hear full-time employees get good benefits

      Cons

      * Almost half of employees are contractors that will never be hired on and are laid off as soon as work slows down * Seriously, do NOT be a contractor for Lam, it isn't worth it and the staffing agency they use is terrible. * Huge office politics in every department. Any nail sticking up with be hammered down.

      Pros

      Opportunities to support global activities

      Cons

      Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
