Downward Spiral - Field Service Engineer Lam Research Employee Review

Approximately every 2 years Lam Research does a large amount of layoffs to hit their earnings numbers to look good to shareholders. This severely hurts the ability for workers to perform all their tasks since most of the layoffs are the blue collar workers causing their to be smaller numbers amd support for the actual hands on work such as maintaining equipment and manufacturing. Management is largely not personable and cares very little about the individual and will put there workers at risk as long as they hit their goals and look good on paper. The expectations for workers from managers are largely unspoken despite a core value of open communication. Oftentimes workers are exposed to unsafe environments that violate Lam's electrical health and safety policies and managers ask their workers to be quiet about the violations so they don't get in trouble. The raises rarely keep up with cost of living making it to the benefits don't make it worth staying long term here.
