Generally, most teams and people are very pleasant to be around, even if you don't fancy some people, it's hard to find outright bad, rude, or unpleasant people. Unless you're the one causing trouble.

There's so much to learn, as far as business, lean, continuous improvement, management, and even ergonomics, health and safety, as well as just practical skill sets: Tools, equipment, assemblies, etc.
Lam is not shy to providing LOTS of information about these things if you seek it. 

It's not all a happy dream land, however. If you are an assembler, you can expect to be treated accordingly. It's a rather militant environment on the floor. the leading roles will eyeball your breaks, your phone use, your work progress, etc. Safety is taken VERY seriously, which is good, but also extremely frustrating in times where you wonder how anyone would be dumb enough to cause some of the things they spend so much time and energy trying to prevent. If you are an intelligent, responsible, and hard working individual, safety can feel like more of an itching cone than an empowerment. So you'll need to learn to NOT fight back or press against things they do. Otherwise you'll promptly be let go.

This industry is cyclical, which means it's a sweat and blood world for temp employees. If you work really hard and show good character through Lam's core values, you'll go a long way. But only if you really like the business. Just don't expect Lam to care about you as a person. You're here to get them results. Temps are a shield for full time employees to not get fired in slow quarters. And there will be slow quarters. If you are a full time employee, you will not be able to move up or to a different department when there are slow quarters, because they get desperate, and stingy with their bank account.

So lots of times, as an assembler, since you are a low level employee (dare I say very near the bottom of the 'food chain') a lot of things won't make sense. and the decisions made by management will often times anger a lot of people. Which is a huge turn off for a lot of people, but the fact of the matter is us assemblers just don't get the big picture and see the full spectrum and all the variables of management and the decisions they have to make based off of the numbers. So you decide.  

HUGE benefits, great pay for it's pace. If you are a "Yes sir, right away sir" type person, this place is wonderful. Just be careful where you invest emotionally.Ultimately, it's up to you.
Ultimately, it is an spectacular company for what it is. There's so much good in it. And you WILL learn a lot.
But you must have a positive outlook as an assembler. And you must find happiness and content within yourself, not within the work. Otherwise it can be dreary, as it has become for me, after 3 years of the same daily stuff.

If you are one who assembles the tools you are looked down upon by management and under paid. Management is a major problem here. They preach a specific set a "Core values," but it is just lip service. Management directs the assemblers how to their job but do not know how to do the job themselves. They preach "open communication," but when you try to be open and honest, it is viewed as complaining. Unless you want to be a "butt kiss," there is little advancement opportunity. If you are mechanically inclined but do not have at least an Associates degree then advancement is none. People with a degree and no experience, who "couldn't change a light bulb," get brought in to test the function of the tools over advancing someone up from an assembler, who has been there for years and could build the tool with their eyes closed, just because of the degree. Then when a problem arises with a tool at a customers site, the assembly department gets the blame from management. All they truly care about, despite what they say in all their meetings, is the shareholders and the value of their stock. Temporary employees with no experience, at times start out making more than hired on employees who have been there for years. I have even trained "temps," who were making more than me. 

I am speaking for the Tualatin campus only. Do not know about Fremont. 

If you are just starting out and desperate for a job, they will hire anybody as a "temp," experience or not. Negotiate your starting wage well because pay raises are very weak 25 cents to 50 cents a year. A lot of rework of other peoples work and disfunction between 4 shifts they operate around the clock. I expected better from a company as big as they are.

Some people at Lam boast about how hard it is to get a job there, as if it is a prestigious university, like Stanford or Harvard. This is translates into an ever increasing elitist culture, where SOME people who have been there a long time tend to think very highly of themselves and put others down. At the end of the day, the American dollar spends the same way, whether it comes from Lam or McDonalds--this is a fact that the aforementioned people do not get. You will get to work on state of the art technology and be surrounded by brilliant minds, but be prepared to be part of a system that never slows down. When a much needed holiday approaches and you yearn for a day of relaxation at home, be prepared to have your phone next to you at all hours of the day (and or night) , so that you can keep up with projects and e-mails. 

To put it simply, Lam is a 'hot shot' type of place, where pretty much only the people with the most fancy of school names and degrees get hired. The positives of this are that you will be challenged in an ambitious team environment, but the negatives are that really big egos do exist here and there. The company is big on its Core-Values, but there are long-tenured people there who think they are above the system and entitled to say and do whatever they want. My advice is to steer clear of these people and don't let their egos knock you down. 

Working at Lam was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Life Changing. I was introduced to the world of Semiconductors. In the beginning I did struggle. I found later, that the reason for my struggle was because of the Lead I had. They weren't as supportive as other leads. To some point it felt like they've already made a decision about who or what type of worker you are after 1 week of starting. Supervisors on the other hand, were VERY VERY supportive. Moving me to a new line with a new Lead and new supervisor, they were able to excel me and challenge me to bigger and betting things. I eventually became an Electronic Test Technician. But unfortunately, due to the Ups and Downs of the industry I wasn't able to officially become an Electronic Test Technician for Lam. My Lead and Supervisor really knew how to develop a team, they really knew how to cater to each of us. Because of how my Lead and Supervisor were, my fellow Co-Workers were amazing to work with. We were basically like a family helping each other to complete our assignments by the end of our shift. And till this day, I hope one day we can all return, and work with each other again. Amazing work life balance. CWW sched.

I generally like working here, you can meet some really great people who make work enjoyable, good health benefits, opportunity for growth and advancement if you either work really hard or just know the right people. 

However working Assembly you do get treated  as an inferior, you do not receive basic human respect. The people who work the desk jobs have way more freedom and flexibility to do as they please. Management is constantly changing their mind and implementing new policies and procedures, always approving new projects that never get followed through, projects are never aligned with other teams or shifts, they're willing to bypass standard procedures that sacrifice quality as long as it saves time.  Management does not invest in Assembly, most of our tools are broken, we only have very few fixtures that have to be shared across the entire floor, often times production has to stop and wait for tools and fixtures to become available. There is zero morale across manufacturing, you can be the best hardest working person in the factory but you'll receive just as much praise and compensation as the people who sit and do nothing all shift. There is no inflation adjustment for people who have been working there for years, new hires will get compensated either the exact same amount or more. 

The safety culture is improving but not really enforced. Management relies too heavily on manufacturing to promote a safe and happy work environment. 

Good variety of toolsets to really learn about. Training is minimal before you are on your own, which is great for some, not for others. Hours are long, lunches are short, it is a clean room environment.

As a technician, most of your day is spent finding someone else's mistakes and correcting them. With the high ramp and turnover rate, there are a lot of mistakes. Great for people who like to troubleshoot.

Improvements take months or even years to implement. Promotions are often not based on performance. 
Long-time technicians making less than new-hires (both getting paid much less than market rate).
 Written policies will often differ from actual practice policies. 

Co-workers are great, most get along per shift, but cross shift communication is poor and unnecessarily competitive.

Most technicians have to bring in their own tools to do some tasks because they will not purchase and/or the process takes excessively long.

Cross shift policies and procedures are inconsistent. management and leads seem to not communicate critical information.

If a manager doesn't like you, you will know it and so will others.

Expectations are extremely high for some, while nearly non-existent for others.

A good place to get your foot in the door in semi-conductor industry, but not a place where you feel valued, turnover rate is very high.

Culture
Collaboration with my colleagues at Lam Research is  Groups are always encouraged to communicate management has it on their books to improve communication from management to employee because right now there is next to 9 unless you getting chewed out

Overall
My experience working at Lam Research  I work for this company loyally for 6 and a 1/2 years my termination was due to a simple mistake I thought it was a good company to work for I was proven wrong under new management

No real training provided, just competency with sap and other systems are tested. When the company is balls to the walls busy in manufacturing, you are expected to push out modules that aren't even capable of performing in the field. Most employees that are there surprisingly shouldn't be in the position they are in. Tribal knowledge is paramount. Instructions for testing are by far the worst written instructions often with typos, no directions at all, or red lines that have and never will get corrected by the tech writers. The rhythm of the semiconductor industry also affects them immensely to where they will lay off many employees and hire just as many the next quarter(long term employees included). If you want stability this is not the long term career you want. Direct supervisors are also very hard to get ahold of, I mean this in the most polite way possible but it's unbelievable that lam has the reputation it has.🤡

A typical day at work at Lam Research involved multitasking through the several projects assigned for the internship. At Lam, I learned about CPM and the advantages of understanding a company's critical path.  

As one of my projects was to determine the capability to switch from cellular manufacturing to continuous production with three separate lines.  Throughout the entirety of this project, my ability to communicate became instrumental, as I had to communicate with three separate contractors for three separate bids.

Management was great at Lam and very involved in outside work activities like playing soccer and running.  The Lam management is highly skilled and technical, and very helpful with project lineups.  My co-workers were all very nice and welcoming, and anytime you requested help, they would prioritize their schedule to help you.

The hardest part of the job was leaving, as I wanted to begin my career with Lam.  I had no choice as the internship ended, but I definitely could have went without having to leave.  The most enjoyable part of the job was the daily runs and work outs with my mentor.  Showers were available in several buildings and the management really knew how important the work/life balance was.
