Pros

They do allow you as a technician or engineer to take some level of risks, not everything is done as per a documented guideline, there is some reward in that.

Cons

Micron won't admit that the downturn is over and there's opportunity out there. They did not give me a raise in 4 years of employment. Rather, they forced me to salary so that they had complete control over me. Benefits continue to get stripped from the employees and the health care package is one of the worst I've seen. Select people get put on the fast track and their promotions outpace everyone else's by a rate of 3 or 4 to 1. If you just want to get some 300mm experience and use them as a stepping stone, that's all I would recommend. Micron is not a place to grow your career or advance, unless you know the right managers and can get in with the right crowd.

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.
