      Pros

      there are a lot of very intelligent and capable engineers at Lam that make for a lot of exciting opportunities. If you work well in a group of Type A personalities, this is the palce for you to be. I think a strong performance record is required and you have to promote yourself.

      Cons

      Too much discussion and seemingly random changes in priority. I think it depends on your manager and customer. Plus, the industry is only going to shrink, margins are going to get tighter. That means fewer opportunities and less room for innovation.

      Never experienced a company like Lam

      Pros

      Lam pays very well. Salary and profit sharing (when they are profitable) are very competitive.

      Cons

      Layoffs. Paycuts. Mandatory time-off. Working in fear. Questionable decision making from upper and senior management. Some of the managers at Lam are very incompetent and uninspiring that don't seem to care since they are just there for the paycheck and wont leave as they probably wouldnt be hired anywhere else in the valley. Very surprised by the lack of professionalism and respect demonstrated to co-workers. "F" bombs and questionable language are very common in meetings. Still very much a "good ole boy" network. If you are not part of that network then expect to be in for a rude awakening.

      Want to be treated badly in a dysfunctional company that pretends to care?

      Pros

      if you are motivated by fear and money and you'll do anything to please egonamiacs- its a great place to work

      Cons

      no work life balance, nothing ever gets completed, everyone complains all the time but they're so disfunctional they won't leave. You'll work 24 hours a day and no one says thank you.
