Pros

- Lam has been growing quite a lot and management has committed to reinvesting in it's technology and it's people. There should be great things ahead for the company and lots of challenges to solve - Benefits are great (no free food etc like FB/Google/start up life but still pretty good in terms of health, etc) - Profit sharing bonuses can be pretty good - Great executive leadership

Cons

- Like any big company it can be easy to get lost and feel like a cog in the wheel but if you are driven and have a good manager to support you you have certainly get notices - Work life balance can get unbalanced but that is the nature of successful companies (especially in Silicon Valley). You will probably find this anywhere you go but Lam does a good job of rewarding it's employees

Pros

Lam has a highly charged culture that is focused on quickly getting getting products to market. Benefits are top notch.

Cons

Very high pressure levels and everything is becoming a stretch goal.

Pros

Compensation is higher than most other semi-companies in the bay area Great benefits + stock Growth opportunities Challenging work Education reimbursement

Cons

One of the most politically driven organizations I've ever seen. Especially at the Sr. Mgr + level. There is no work/life/balance at least not in HR.
