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.

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.
