Lam Research Employer Reviews

Lam Research is a gem of a company to work for. Strong management, great products with many good people working there. Top minds in the industry are attracted to this company from a technical standpoint.

On a typical day, I would come in at 8-9am and work in two locations: the engineering group and the testing group.

In the engineering group I would do circuit board work and firmware programming, as well as continually communicate with my supervisors.

In the testing group I would build my test fixtures, as well as generate the appropriate documentation.

So many campuses.
Can get discounts to amusement parks, and other tickets.
Large cafeteria.
Easy access to freeway - 880.

Responsibilities were for two ST Micro Electronics sites.

I normally spent two days a week at each site in Carrollton, Texas and Phoenix Arizona.

I had operational responsibility with P&L and 6 direct and indirect reports

- challenging work - most enjoyable part
- new product development
- field support, escalations, problems solving

Design and development of cluster tool semiconductor wafer etch systems and wafer transport systems.

good company...great people to work for..great pay....good management

Very good team orientated company built on ethics and a solid understanding that a company is only as good as it's people.

Great compensation and benefits. Opportunities to learn new skills. Fun and social place to work. Work hours can be long, sometimes 80+ per week.

Loved this job, got to travel the world, and work with some of the brightest minds in the semi-conductor. Loved my direct manager and site managers. learned how to take care of the latest and greatest 300mm dry etch semiconductor fabrication equipment. co-workers were mostly prior military so it made getting things done very fluid and most were very – more... dependable.

I learned what a good company was by working for Lam Research. The workforce did fluctuate with the economy but I was here 11 years. This company was and still is very vital with an enthusiastic workforce. I learned what good company culture could be while I was here and tried to re-create that when I moved on.

Some of the tasks were to assemble both optical and mechanical parts.Read blueprints. Productive environment.

Very busy, lots to learn.
In the 6 years I was there I received 3 promotions,13% raises, worked in 4 departments. I was sent to APIC, Competitive classes and learned how to use the PC.

Lam was an exciting place to be employed. This is a dynamic company that allows employees to grow and take the lead on development of new technoilogies.

They cared about their employees and made it a fun place to work and one that would attract the best candidates,

Responsible for complex technical functions in support of R&D and Manufacturing wafer transport and process modules. Highly skilled coworkers, great management staff. Hardest part of job is solving inner chamber process issues. Most enjoyable part of job is integrating a semiconductor platform and working the flaws out.

Good Company to work for; good environment. Not too far from home & not outsourcing much of their products.

Very good place for technical exposure.
