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

* Pay is towards the lower end of the industry, even compared to much smaller companies * Technology is truly amazing. Some brilliant and dedicated engineers work there

Cons

* Pay needs to be about 15% higher. Claims the "budget doesn't allow for it" are tired, considering continuous successes, and ridiculous stock buybacks * Erratic work hours including very late or very early meetings to accommodate global customers * Undue added stress especially for long-term projects. Lam seems to want to placate their customers with "quick turnover"... truly illogical for long-term projects * The return to office fever continues w/ unjustified metrics. Hybrid work setting that was yanked even when ~90% of the role could be performed remotely. The excuse? Quick turnover again. Unreasonable considering the scope of the projects
