Too quick. No sooner was I hired than I got caught in a layoff that affected the entire department. What's that about? - Anonymous employee Lam Research Employee Review

Pros

On nice thing about the company is that there was a lot of training available to employees that want to take advantage of the opportunities.

Cons

An employee can feel like a small fish in big pond at this company. And at times an employee can get lost in the ocean of employees. If you don't have a good manager that pays attention to you, you can get "lost."

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.
