Lam Research Research & Development Department Reviews

Likes

Salary, RSU, part of semiconductor ecosystem

Dislikes

Poor management, toxic work life balance

Likes

Culture is generally good like : open door policy/approachable leaders , commitment and integrity , employee friendly. Pay and benefits also i guess above industry level for same year of experience and skill sets. Company also provide stock voluntary stock purchase program at 15% discount rates. If gas flow analysis ,chamber design ,reactor modelling , electrostatic chuck ,plasma physics and process chemistry is your favorite area and inclination then i guess it is best pace to work....Read More

Dislikes

1: More of process chemistry and plasma physics oriented industry, Jobs as ME is not so exciting or challenging compared to other industries mostly support role to Fremont engineers with very minor design changes. Mostly everything static here dynamics ,kinematics ,vibration ,multi body dynamics competencies are not there in general. 2: work life balance , there will be night meetings around 9 _11 pm range once or twice weekly....Read More

Hi-Tech company. Good opportunity to learn

Dislikes

Department head is the sole decision-maker, other managers are just for the sake of managers. He never allows anyone to make decisions. His direct staffs are just puppets. Nowadays, it had become a typical Indian company with people having manufacturing floor mentality. Though the company has a flexible and hybrid work policy, some managers never allow any of their team members to be flexible / work from home. Manager expectations are like, if I am going to office, I want everyone to come to office. No growth, no promotions. Promotions are reserved for people talking (just talking) hi-fi stuffs. Work doesn't matter for promotion. You may be working and performing beyond your roles, But your growth will be curtailed in the name of "Visibility". But If an individual has "IIT" in his resume, he can grow faster. People from other institutions are considered as third class. The Lam research corporation conducts annual 360 degree feedback surveys. But no use of that. Even if you give feedback against your manager, nothing will happen. Nowadays those surveys are also not happening because, it will reflect the actual face of managers....Read More
