Pros

Not as risky as a startup, so the company will be around for a good few years to come. Benefits are OK, but nothing spectacular.

Cons

Not an exciting place to be. Because of its size, Micron does move slowly. The only sudden changes are the unfortunate layoffs, which seem to come out of the blue when management panics on some news. Badging is required both on the way in and on the way out, making it feel like a soft prison. Management can check the in/out times, and although I haven't heard of anyone having been disciplined because of too few hours worked, people have been reminded to check the hours. People who are not paid by the hour.

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.
