Toxic department, challenging work
Toxic department, challenging work
The work is interesting and fast paced. There is never a dull day. The stock compensation is good (due to current stock fluctuations), and bonuses are reliable. The small, motivated team of individual contributors is fun to work with.
Very toxic department. Lots of rushing around and very little clarity on what to do. Management backtracks on many key decisions.
Little upward mobility. Lots of job roles outsourced to India, creating time zone problems with meetings very early or very late in the day.
Management tolerates personal insults, favoritism, and retaliation. Lots of finger pointing between departments.
You can't stop hiring and expect things to improve.

Lam Research Interview Experiences

First round HR screening. Another 3-4 more rounds with managers and director. Panel interview in subsequent rounds. Experience was ok. HR is looking out for whether you did your research beforehand in the industry.

Via connection is easier, so try to find a connection. Otherwise, you will need to go through a long process, and it may take a long time. No difficult or unexpected questions, per my experience.

One group member called me and asked me some background. Then the HM called me to follow up. The interview was scheduled for the following week. The group members were friendly and very smart. I was asked a lot of questions during the presentation. A
