Pros

Lam overall is a great company that strives to maintain high diversity and inclusion standards to make sure everyone gets a fair shot. Not 100% perfect and I'm sure no company is but you can see the genuine effort is still there. Also the benefits and stock purchase options have provided me a considerable boost financially the past 4 years I've been on board.

Cons

Lam does well to try to hire military veterans but could improve on considering our experience to higher level roles, especially for manager positions. I had 20-plus years military experience with 15 of that in some of a leadership role plus a Master's Degree but was only hired on as a junior supervisor experience, a position that required no previous experience and no degree. Meanwhile, individuals with only 10 years of civilian experience are hired on as senior supervisors giving them more opportunities to gain experiences that will make them more competitive for manager and beyond.

Pros

I started work one month before Covid19 closures, during which I had a gentle onboarding and assimilation process. While I built up my workflow, we transitioned to a work from home setting. Even through difficult transitions, frequent communication with my managers and engineering team members created a healthy environment that is very respectful of our personal challenges. Despite working remotely, just sitting in front of my computer, I feel connected to my peers and supported by my team. I'm glad Lam makes efforts to take care of us and the global causes that we support; I can take pride in saying that I work at Lam.

Cons

The Fremont CA campus is located on the shore of the bay, so it faintly smells of marshland when walking outside.
