Pros

Industry technology leadership, first class facilities, working with very smart and technically talented people

Cons

Fairly narrow 'engineering think' based cultural perspective that inadvertently squelches creativity across the ranks; the VOC is not clear, concise and consistent throughout the ranks top-to-bottom, engineering based approach to meeting market needs versus marketing/business development approach tends to lead to over engineered solutions that often lead to overly expensive solutions. Lam's over dependence on 'fast solutions' hero culture leads to burnout across the organization and a lot of 'work arounds'....that are hard to track and manage over time

Pros

Lam does have competitive benefit. The also have a program that is new that will help you pay down your student loan. This was just implement last year.

Cons

When your an new employee years 1 - 4, it seem like you have a very hard time to accrue PTO time, due to the fact of company shut downs. The for annual rate, your lucky if you get 3% raise. While the company makes records profits, this raise should be an embarrassment.
