Micron Technology Reviews

Pros

Great place to work on new technology
Would maasure themselves against competitors
Competed favorably in global market place
Growing company

Cons

High tech commodity business, so tough on company profits
Pay and benefit cut back in 2008, but they did pay it all back as bonus in 2010

Advice to Senior Management

Keep on
I was very proud to work for Micron
Done a good job minimizing the "old freind" network, but a little more work to go

Pros

Solid US Semiconductor company. Wants to survive in the industry

Cons

Clicky. Boise crowd controls operations

Pros

I am very content to be where I am and think that I've been treated fairly and compensated properly for my level.

Cons

I wish telecommuting and summer flex hours were allowed. Telecommuting would help keep people who can complete their job from home off the road and summer flex hours (work four long days) would give families more flexibility in vacationing and spending time with their kids.

Advice to Senior Management

Implement a corporate policy that at least encourages summer flex scheduling. People will get their job done even if they have to come in when they didn't plan on it (we do already).

Pros

Relatively good compensation. You got paid for the overtime. The bonus is not fat though. Nothing to complain about the management team too, although of course there are some not so nice bosses but majority of them are considerate and easy to work with.

Cons

Don't even think about leaving the office on time if you want a promotion. Too many meetings. Sometimes you can only start to work after office hour.

Advice to Senior Management

Relatively praiseworthy management team. I cannot say I don't like the culture of the company so I quit. But I do feel that I do not fit the culture. The company doesn't emphasize on degree. Job scope are the same for bachelor and PHD degree. But it must be this case I mean it hard to change since it's a manufacturing company not a design house.

Pros

getting discounts on tech items

Cons

no room to advance in position

Pros

Steady paycheck. Peers I work with.

Cons

Middle management. Listening to anything about Boise ID.

Advice to Senior Management

Boost morale of general employee population.

Pros

time off. compressed work week. unless you get violent, you won't get fired i.e. perfect for lazy people

Cons

no deviation in working hours, expect you to work late and come in on your days off for BS goal meetings. being forced to accept a promotion form sr, tech to engineer and accept a pay cut.

Advice to Senior Management

enjoy your spot bonuses

Pros

- Good Pay
- Exciting Work
- Good Benefits
- Very intelligent co-workers and engaging work
- Overall, a very positive experience

Cons

- Scary job security (When the semiconductor market is poor, people get fired)
- Long hours expected from engineers
- Hard to disconnect and separate work from life

Advice to Senior Management

Find a way to reduce the effect of a volatile market on the job security of employees. Please consider branching out into more stable markets to help survive in the low times without firing everyone.

Pros

good location, and employees welfare benefits even for interns.
variety of job scope - not repetitive/boring.

Cons

strict Over Time pay requirements.

Pros

Great IT environment
Good programs to learn the many IT interface required for performance
Ok work life balance
Opportunities to climb the corporate ladder if you are an IT person

Cons

Long shift in the FABs
Middle management lacks people skills and the training to manage on that level
Cronyism and oldboyism at its best
Promotion seems to be based on the "Boise network"

Advice to Senior Management

You have more qualified junior managers that you can rely on rather than always bringing people from Boise to head departments. This can curb the high worker turnover
