Pros

Micron is a great place to work with wonderful people. The treasure valley is a great place to live, with many outdoor and recreational activities. People at Micron generally want the company to be successful and strive for a standard of excellence. There are many varieties of jobs you can obtain at micron from entry level temp work to senior level management. The company offers perks across the Boise valley that enable you to receive discounts on restaurants, theaters, and shopping. Management really promotes self development and education when related to semiconductors. Micron also promotes from within so if you start low on the totem pole you do have opportunity to move up.

Cons

Being started in the Boise valley means many employees are home grown and even more senior management is from the good ole boy network. This creates a lot of friction when a outside individual is brought in to restructure and raise revenue, but many managers ignore his/her presence out of stubbornness. This really effects the entire organization things need to be done to streamline the company and they are making an effort but so many initiatives are being stopped because this brick wall of long timers. Micron needs to restructure upper management as much as it does its operations. By removing the road blocks a business plan can be effectively followed. Micron never followed a business plan until late 2005, and it had been in existence for over 20 years.

Pros

Excellent benefits, including: full insurance, stock purchase plan at 15% discount, ample paid time off. Onsite family healthcare.

Cons

Poor base pay, especially relative to local CoL and equivalent positions overseas (Micron pays 2x base salary of equivalent role vs. Samsung/Hynix in Asia, but 0.5x in America). Dysfunctional workplace driven by internal politics rather than yield/engineering cycles. Technicians are effectively forbidden from promotion or salary increase. Layoffs are frequent and merciless.
