Pros

LRCX is growing rapidly, and investing now in the talent which will drive that future growth. In addition to competitive salary and excellent benefits, most other employees are genuinely pleasant and enjoyable to work with.

Cons

Onboarding is virtually nonexistent, and assimilation is conducted by jumping right in and doing. Peers, Mentors, and Managers are often too busy (understandably) to help new employees develop the processes needed to do their jobs; a byproduct of such rapid growth.

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.
