      Great start, but not the company they were 10 years ago

      Pros

      They are the market leaders in etch, and have aspirations to lead other markets. Merger with Novellus Systems should prove positive in the future. Pay is good, although benefits have steadily declined over the past few years.

      Cons

      People are treated terrible, even by semi industry standards. It is very common to hire new college grads and work them until they can't take it anymore and leave. There are never enough people for the workload, especially after 2008 they are very hesitant to hire to meet business needs. If you go to work at Lam expect a minimum of 60 hour work weeks and few weekends off.

      Good company, bad customers, less than mediocre pay.

      Pros

      Successful company with an excellent management philosophy. Many opportunities throughout the world. An excellent model for growing their customer base.

      Cons

      Limited personal growth potential outside of Tualatin, OR or San Jose, CA. Starting salaries are less than mediocre especially for experienced employees. Limited chance for employee creativity if in customer support. Management philosophy is not practiced by field managers. Having to work every weekend provides an extremely poor work/life balance.

      Great leadership, culture, innovative and collaborative environment

      Cons

      Often reactionary semi-organized chaos. As with other companies there is opportunity to improve
