Pros

Take Lam's Mission, Vision, and Core values to heart - because that is what is best for yourself and the company, and in the end the customer - although they are considered 'first' in everything Lam does, and should always be at the top of our conscious thoughts. Be patient. Reserve judgment. Be accountable, and responsible. Be honest. Learn everything, and keep learning daily. Teach others what you would have them teach you. Help others where you would ask for the same help when needed. Overall - fantastic people to work for and with. Don't expect perfection, but strive to achieve it.

Cons

As in any company, some have expectations that they are entitled to be where they are, when all should be thankful and full of gratitude that they have what they have - because many others have much less and continuously struggle to survive.

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.
