Pros

Relatively good benefit Passionate and friendly people (used to be)

Cons

New CEO and his ex-Sandisk team brought a lot of negative influence to the company: - Hiring favor recruits with certain similar background - Promote positive values but practice the complete opposite - Focus on finding fault with people and promote unhealthy competition - No transparency with for poor performance review - Not open to different views, the team brought in are focused on following orders and copying system they had in the previous company without analysing and understanding the weaknesses - Cutting resources at the bottom, but continuously bring in more and more layers at the top, and filled them up with people from previous company

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.
