Great teamwork

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The management team has improved a great deal over the years. I can't imagine that it would ever return to the "less structured" days of the 80's and 90's. Employees and management alike practice Lam's core values.

Cons

I personally have no cons to add

Great company, not a lot of internal opportunities

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong executive management team, appear to truly put people first. Executive management has created a model that for the most part shelters the full time employees from layoffs during bad times in the industry, which there are many.

Cons

Lam outsources the majority of what they sell therefore room for moving around within the company is limited to volume manufacturing, pilot manufacturing, engineering and quality. All other functional areas which are part of many companies are outsourced except for some support functions.
