      Pros

      The best thing about working at Lam is the people. I have worked at Lam for 20 years. The thing I like most about coming to work is the friendships I have formed in my 20 years at Lam. Lam also is a strong believer in a work-life balance. People at Lam work hard but are also able to enjoy their well deserved time off. Lam also does a lot of great things to support our local communities. For example, the Heart and Soles 5k race to support the YMCA and Boys and Girls club to help promote exercise and healthy eating for local youth.

      Cons

      This is a good problem to have but Lam's growth is happening at such a fast rate that we are struggling to keep up with customer demands.

      It really just depends on who your working under...

      Pros

      BASE PAY: Great overall, 55% of average base pay. Raises keep you right there over time. BENEFITS: Health and Life Insurance program is quite nice WORK-LIFE BALANCE: Just enough vacation to keep you sane. LEADERSHIP: CEX level leadership are quite smart and know where the company needs to go.

      Cons

      BONUSES & STOCK: Everyone gets profit sharing, but only managers and the top 1% (as determined by managers...so join the good-ol-boys club if you can) get anything other than that. MID-LEVEL MANAGEMENT: A bunch of long-time "good-ol-boys" who sign up for unrealistic deadlines and commitments to make their resumes look good, and then pass those on to you. By the time you fail, they have already moved into the next position in management. LEADERSHIP: CEX level leadership are quite generous in their own bonuses, but pass very little on to you as a normal employee.
