Pros

On-site gym OT paid (mandatory OT generally - con) that’s literally all that I can think of

Cons

Long hours’ working widely expected Unreasonable job responsibilities assigned (degree varies from department to department) Incompetent and downtrending management/leadership (new CEO being the worst) Favouritism being popular Lateral movement nearly impossible Corporate culture is no longer on a positive side Ridiculous IP protection initiatives (employed lots of manpower to put on stickers onto the phone cameras of employees together with metal detectors like airport security check which you have no idea how frustrating it is when people queue for entrances DAILY Rather slow career advancement (this changes drastically if your bosses happen to favour you or you have a rather outstanding appearance) Rank and yank rating practice lately introduced strikes employees’ morale pretty hard. A great deal of talents have to and are forced to go just because there has to be some ones who take home a performance rating of ‘2’ which is absurd. Under-the-table politics and vicious peers’ competition got worse since the implementation of the rank and yank rating system. It clearly drives down the innovation capabilities and is gonna demoralise employee for a long run whereas nobody can do a damn thing about it. New CEO seems to be turning Micron into SanDisk in every way (not likeable ways), and look what he’s got SanDisk into. LOL It’ll never get better if this goes on Not recommended for people looking for jobs for the time being

Pros

Strong organizational growth – The company is continuously expanding, which creates exciting opportunities for career development and new challenges. Attractive RSU compensation – With the recent significant rise in stock price, the RSU (Restricted Stock Unit) package has become a highly rewarding part of the overall compensation.

Cons

Organizational silos – Each team or department tends to operate in its own silo, which can limit cross-functional collaboration and visibility into what other groups are working on. Overly strict internal security policies – While data security is important, the current policies can be excessively restrictive, making it difficult to share documents and resources even among colleagues working toward the same goals. This can slow down productivity and hinder efficient collaboration.
