Pros

Micron used to be an amazing place to work. Micron is more profitable than it's ever been right now and provides a consistent paycheck. There's still some hope Micron could be an amazing place to work again someday.

Cons

I don't want to be honest about these right now because it's so bad and I used to love my job... The ranking system has created a toxic work environment, lowest morale ever seen at the company. Lot's of jobs being moved from US to overseas. Company is very sneaky about reducing work force in such a way that layoffs don't have to be reported to reduce numbers and it's hurting talented engineers careers. The work environment quickly changed from feeling like a career to feeling like a job. Constructive feedback to management leads to low rankings (removal from company) and responses such as "this is the way Micron is now". It's very clear that US employees are not valued at this company. Hard to grow as an engineer at this company right now due to the ranking system.

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.
