Lam Research Corporation a great place to work
Lam Research Corporation a great place to work
- Great emphasis on collaboration and teamwork
- As a result, there are few "silos" or "empires"
- Many opportunities and a variety of work, and the barriers to working in a different group or project are lower than normal
- Check out Lam's "Core Values" that are generally practiced pretty well, making it a nice environment to work
- Compensation and benefits seem to be in the upper quartile, but perks are decreasing, and those seem to be outsourced now.
- It's a semiconductor business, which is intense: faster, cheaper, faster, more efficient, did I mention faster? It's a global 24/7 operation. If you have trouble with 7am or 7pm meetings to accommodate folks in other time zones and days on the earth, it's rough.
- If you don't find other languages and cultures interesting, it's rough. I joke it is like working at the United Nations.
- Work-Life balance is a recognized struggle that corporate is trying to keep in balance.
- If you don't have an advanced college degree, there's a little "degree snobbery". Folks are working on it.
- Hire more managers because too many managers are stretched too thin.
- Hire managers for swing and grave shifts.
- The company is growing; try to keep the intimacy of a local group while interacting with the larger environment.
