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

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.
