Pros

- OT pay provided, market rate salary - decent good benefits for MNC

Cons

- high workload, forced to OT few days every week, also a norm for people to OT everyday to claim as much as they can while they work in Micron. - there is an atmosphere of dullness , negative-ness and fear. Across departments and among departments shouting happen occasionally. - older employees and managers who survive are usually more cunning and keep those documents to themselves to gain control. New employees have no choice but to obey them and they are given little piece of needed parts for certain tasks instead of the detailed overall design for better understanding. - management introduced rating system for improvement whereby you can rate and comment for every aspect of work including managers, peers, work life balance, learning prospect etc. However, when give neutral rating only , managers come to you and request to change to higher rating. Seems like the system serves no purpose and just a show for management.

Pros

Decent pay, great stock grants and stock purchase plan. You can be at the forefront of memory technology driving today's AI megaboom, and benefit from the high demand (i.e. soaring stock price).

Cons

Little sense of community, lifeless office environment, dead-eyed and overworked employees. "Flexible work arrangements" in name only, as recent policy changes have significantly reduced effectiveness especially if you have a long commute or family life. Too much emphasis on unimportant buzz such as embracing diversity and inclusion is just annoying, but par for the course in today's big tech industry.
