Micron Technology FAQ

Pros

Good benefit package (better than average bonuses, paid vacation, health plan, 10% stock discount), an oligopoly industry that has good profit margins, on the cutting edge, employee engagement opportunities

Cons

Too much managing the manager (reports, meetings, emails, schedules, work reviews), a lot of pressure to not get rated low (which will get you laid off with no severance), not enough time or employees to accomplish projects, wishy-washy lying managers, not enough focus on the technical important tasks, everyone is worrying about their own job, low morale.

Advice to Management

Stop with the hypocrisy and talk that sounds nice when you do things to undermine employee morale (laying off workers, adding unnecessary stress that comes from the top down, controlling our vacation time, not paying severance). Build up the workers skillset and self esteem by not constantly nitpicking them and giving time for training and career growth. Reduce the "managing the manager" nonsense and flatten the organization with less managers.

Pros

Micron is uniquely positioned to provide the world with what is in high demand now and will be in the foreseeable future - memory and storage solutions. Highly innovative and collaborative culture. I was impressed by how the company leadership handled the COVID-19 pandemic and approached it with safety of the company’s employees as their top priority. It is clear that the leadership is focused on very aggressive competition with the 2 bigger memory companies from Korea. Compensation is very competitive. The benefits package is much better than what I have seen at my previous employers.

Cons

Work-life balance can be a challenge for some but you know what you get yourself into when you join Micron. The company is pretty transparent about its expectations of its new employees.

Advice to Management

Continue with what you have started. Don’t stop caring about Micron employees!

Pros

1. Extremely good welfare COVID package such as free meals and bus shuttle services

Cons

Superior don’t seem to put much effort to engage with intern probably due to their busy schedule.

Pros

Great team members and good medical and time off benefits

Cons

It used to be a great company to work for. Everyone was on the same page with vision and worked as a team to accomplish amazing feats. Unfortunately that tenacity is now expected and many people are burning out by the constant challenges being placed in front of them and the hours they have to work to accomplish these undertakings. Diversity and inclusion is important to bring attention to however it has become too much of a talking point for it to hold the meaning intended. There is little diversity in the executive and management levels.

Pros

Good benefits, 12 weeks paid paternity leave

Cons

Internal change controls stifle innovation
