Lam Research reviews

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.

Work/life balance is awful and not recognized. Constant last minute changes with very little time to react. If the pay and benefits hadn’t been as good as they were I would have been looking elsewhere before the layoffs. It was getting to the point that even with the benefits, the lack of work/life balance was unsustainable. Lack of automation and complex work being done on Excel spreadsheets was completely inefficient and reduced already constrained time. After months of late nights reworking schedules and manually fixing “automation” attempts, the role was eliminated in most US locations and moved to Asia with less experienced/new personnel. It takes time to learn these roles and gutting an important part of the business without experience. The people left behind by the haphazard layoffs are more overworked than they were when there was a full staff.
