Pros

Even fresh graduates (bachelor’s or master’s degree) can earn up to 7-7.5k per month with OT. Good work-life balance for compressed work week shift (3/4/4/3).

Cons

Non-existent work-life balance for non-shift engineers (even managers) Not enough manpower to support the fast pace of the technology and therefore, the employees are expected to do overtime. Too much politics between the management of different groups.

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.
