Pros

Good benefits and hr process.

Cons

There is a “rating” system of 1-5. It’s forced bell curve. If you get below a 3, you’re offered a severance or put on probation. It’s on a team-by-team basis. If you’re on a team of three, one person gets dinged, even if the entire team is performing well. So we have a highly technical company that apparently needs to brush up on statistics. Mountains of technical debt. Software practices are far behind industry pace.

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.
