      Pros

      Overall has competitive pay Some opportunities to move up in the company 12 hour shifts, resulting in long weekends

      Cons

      The more Lam makes, the more it takes away. We used to have great parties and incentives, and people were happy to work here. Now that Lam is making billions of dollars and has very few employees left (at this site anyway), we can't even get pizza once in a while. New policy - No phones on the floor. This isn't feasible in this day and age, especially for parents. "Projects" are constantly being pushed, resulting in nonsensical new policies, rules, and procedures. Just let me do my job.

      Pros

      Opportunities to support global activities

      Cons

      Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
