Pros

Good pay and good benefits

Cons

I used to work at Lam as full time employee and I think top management needs to send their admins to Ethics and Core Values class. The C-level admins attitudes towards the lower level admins is unacceptable. Gossip, politics, favoritism, even to the extent of bullying is taking place. It creates a very hostile work environment. I have friends that are still work there and they tell me they have the same problem.

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
