Pros

Truly can't think of many. Products aren't that innovative - DRAM is all standardized. Micron knows their Boise HQ based employees have nowhere else to work in high-tech and tamp down salaries and raises as a result. Layoffs frequent. Bonuses not frequent.

Cons

Company favors Mormons and lifers at Micron for upper management. Company is not a fan of Californians relocating to Boise to work for MU. Company secretly tracks every employees' website visits on company computers. Visit 1 personal website at work? It's tracked and grounds for termination under Micron policy resulting in ZERO unemployment bennies and separation pay. Company uses employees 'badging in' daily not for security but instead to actually compile # hours worked each and every workday. IF you fall below 40 hours worked in any week expect your manager to talk to you personally and issue a warning. Workout at work? Micron does not consider this in the 40 hours/week. Take conference calls off Micron grounds - ditto, not counted towards the 40 hour per week minimum. Company WILL terminate you and use weak reasons like "violated company policy by visiting 1+ personal website while on company time." Middle managers work their way up at MU often by screwing others.

Pros

Strong organizational growth – The company is continuously expanding, which creates exciting opportunities for career development and new challenges. Attractive RSU compensation – With the recent significant rise in stock price, the RSU (Restricted Stock Unit) package has become a highly rewarding part of the overall compensation.

Cons

Organizational silos – Each team or department tends to operate in its own silo, which can limit cross-functional collaboration and visibility into what other groups are working on. Overly strict internal security policies – While data security is important, the current policies can be excessively restrictive, making it difficult to share documents and resources even among colleagues working toward the same goals. This can slow down productivity and hinder efficient collaboration.
