      Solid core values based company - Director, Manufacturing Quality Assurance Lam Research Employee Review

      Pros

      - strong commitment to core values - well managed/led for business performance - decent tops down transparency and communications

      Cons

      - compensation reward too heavily weighted on performance. High level reward for top performers, minimal for good/solid performers (which is ~80% of the population). Recognition for top talent is important, but recognizing the efforts of most of the rest of the population as almost no value add is a moral issue. (NOTE - I was well compensated but found it difficult to reward my employees in a grading curve recognition model)

      Business Outlook

      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.
