Pros

Its a good place to work if you like to do process engineering jobs, because you will get tons of it. the company is immigration friendly (useful tip for people on visa). Profit sharing practices are very transparent and good. benefit packages are good.

Cons

The atmosphere is highly political and promotion system is not fair. Middle management is not competent and does a very lousy job of executing and transferring objectives from top management. Too much nepotism. Work pressure is at times unreasonable.

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.
