Pros

Good benefits. It's almost impossible to get fired once you're on full time.

Cons

The workers at the Tualatin plant are almost 100% unhappy with their management. There is no meaningful training or planning involved in anything that is done on a daily basis, yet things are micro-managed. As a new employee you'll be left to figure it out on your own by pestering your more experienced co-workers. Your only chance of promotion out of manufacturing is to either be dispensable or find another company to work for. Once a department likes you, they won't let you advance beyond that area.

Pros

Good pay with decent benefits.

Cons

Highly toxic in certain (not all) business units. Directors and above held to far lower standards than employees. I received a lot of abuse from my manager and when I reacted, she used it against me over the course of five years, resulting in my launching an ER investigation upon which resulted in my termination. (They weren't even adult enough to tell me I was being fired; I found out by accident when I received a termination paycheck). Would love to recommend, but would never recommend Lam based on the treatment I got from my entire leadership chain over a five year period. PS, pretty sure retaliation of this nature is against the law; looking into it.
