Pros

The working hours and work environment are great, as well as the compensation. There are great career opportunities to take and expertise.

Cons

Micron is one of the most important semiconductor company, but surprisingly naive in its approach to parts of its organization that do not develop the semiconductor technology. E.g., if you are a software developer, you won't have as much opportunities nor recognition for your work and, somehow, it will be your fault.

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.
