Pros

-Last year around 20 people from Tech left Lam India.Great job young stars. Good work environment,govt job in India. Easy life,people join as fresher and stay till retirement.Every 6 months you receive an increment,provided you keep your lead and manager happy.travel to US for dev team only .9-5 job. overalll if you dont have dreams to learn technology,and you are silly,then its the best choice.

Cons

-PF transfer claim ,doesnt get approved every time you request through online portal(people are bit old fashioned,so only paper work){pathetic}it may take you a year to get your pf transferred .Not only with me,but a few more people are their in line. -Bad food,very bad,not sure how people are eating it up,and max seem comfortable with that .Even managers have their food outside office everyday. -no non veg allowed in cafeteria ,as MD is a veg guy, -Annual day does happen,but a boring one,no drinks,go and have pathetic food.FYI:drinks available for delegates separately -No cabs facility -,a lot of processes for a simple solution. -few who keeps on talking,and by 6 will leave the office,but dont prefer in finding a quick solution to a problem and solve it out. -A day before delegates visit to India,there would be announcement on dress properly,cleaning stuff will happen ,and suddenly for 2 days cafeteria food also improve,all sort of non-sense happens. -Your hard work will always be taken by your lead. -US should take control of the things happening at Lam India,or best is change the MD,people had enough of him.

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.
