Replying to the claim about Dielectric etch on April 7 - Engineer Lam Research Employee Review

I am not a huge fan of writing this kind of post but just read one posting below regarding my org organization – Dielectric Etch. So, I’d like to offer another perspective. I’ve been working in this organization more than 10 years by now. It is quite challenging to work in DE because the bar to the excellence is really high. Well… customer demands is getting serious and competition is crazy outside, so the leadership team drives us quite tight to get the result. It’s not easy to meet all that high bars. However, I’ve not experienced the problem you described as Cons. Everybody has different perspective so I’ll need to respect yours/experiences but as an incumbent employee of this organization, so I am feeling a bit defensive. It was not a fair statement because I like this team. I moved my job three times in Lam during my service year. Whenever I wanted to change my career path to explore different technology and products and eventually be a better engineer, my managers and leadership team supported my plans. It took time to make it happen but I understand that struggle of timing was because they didn’t want to interrupt our support level to customers. This is my own personal experience but I’d like to share because it were quite positive experiences/process for me. Recently, one of leaders in my organization held skip level meetings with individual contributor engineers and shared the vision of the organization, findings of the organizational assessment, his plans to close the gaps of any issue we have. I thought that was very transparent around open communication. He asked us to share great ideas or difficulties that we had. Many engineers talked about stuff and he took them seriously. I really liked the approach and efforts the leadership team is putting today to improve our working environment.
