Pros

Great benefits package, great people. Profit sharing.

Cons

No feeling of job security, the current performance model demands 8% layoffs each and every year. Even if every employee excels someone will still need to go. Micron promotes employee contentment on one hand and slaps them around with the other. Not many employees are happy with this new model, supervisors are telling employees they are doing great at midyear reviews and then being forced to lower the review rating and offer the employee a severance package at years end. I have been told this comes directly from Sanjay and no one has the balls to tell him this is wrong. He believes that there is always room for improvement, which is true, but this is a drastic way of achieving that goal. He is attempting to instill performance through fear.

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.
