Cons

For years, there has been ongoing predatory sexual behavior and harassment at Lam Research, coming from the highest level of management. Martin Anstice has used his position of power to actively pursue and engage in sexual relations with female employees. The extent and severity of this behavior came forward when women who have been subjected to it began talking and recognized similar stories. I was one of these women, and personally know of others. I believe this impacts many women, past and present and is ongoing. There is a common themes in our stories. It starts with Mr. Anstice paying particular attention to one of us, often asking advice for his leadership. He is complementary, and instills a sense of power and career potential. Substantial text messaging ensues until he gets what he wants.

Pros

You learn a lot The company WAS going places

Cons

I agree with the post titled "Women Beware", I worked for three years at Lam. I endured men hitting on me constantly, even touching me. I was told I was hot. I was also told by one manager that he wanted to give me less complex work because I was a woman and a mother. The culture at Lam is Mad Men.

Pros

Good cafeteria Good health insurance Fast growth and lots of opportunity for grunt work.

Cons

1. The Managing directors just want us to treat the engineers as a body with a brain. PhDs are hired not because they are smart, but because they can go long hours and do rote work. 2. Extremely political environment. You should shut up and follow whatever you were told to do. 3. Too many managers. If you are joining as a engineer, you will spend 80% of your waking hours and weekends doing repeatative trivial work. As managers, we are forced by our upper management to break engineers who try to innovate.
