Micron Technology Reviews

Pros

IPP (bonus plan), DE&I has been great, having the opportunity for a flexible work arrangement after everyone is back on site.

Cons

The workload is getting very heavy with all the things going on and system implementations. It appears that communication from the top and at the lower levels is starting to not match. The message we are hearing from the top is safety (related to COVID) is important, but seems as at lower levels that isn't the case. Work boundaries are blurring as meetings start to encroach on all hours of the day since most TMs are still working from home. How will this work when we are back on site? This isn't sustainable for another 6 months or more.

Pros

The type of hands-on experience you get is like none other. You learn new skills that companies around the world would beg for in the Semiconductor industry, and not being micromanaged is a plus. You know your job and they let you do it

Cons

Everything about the company is politics. If you need something to be successful, and they do not provide it for you, it is told to you under the pretense of what they think is best. You are not given the manpower to complete your duties and constantly stretch you too thin. There is no reward for doing well, and those who do nothing go unpunished. You are promised a salary review annually, but expect one maybe every 3-5 years. Short term, this is a great company, but if you have an issue your manager should be able to handle, you have to go up three more levels before your voice is even heard. If looking to make a career in this industry, this is a good starting company.

Pros

The environment is relatively healthy and we are allowed to innovate regularly within our roles. I enjoy the freedom to manage my own time and simply provide updates on occasion to the major projects I am driving.

Cons

With the shift to the New Micron image under Sanjay I have to say at first I was very excited. They pitched it so well and made it sound like they were really in for their people. Being through that initial phase now I am seeing the reality behind the image being pushed. The Execs care only for the dollar and will take drastic measures to protect it. I have witnessed one site first greatly reduced in technicians and now being completely sold off. If you are looking for job security you may consider the trend of this company investing in its overseas fabs before taking a role at one of the US based sites.

Pros

* Career advancement * Continuing education reimbursement (B- or better and you don't pay for classes) * Growing company (more job openings everyday through company expansion) * Knowledge sharing amongst peers * OT opportunities but not required or expected * Benefits are great (401K matching day1 and Profit Sharing) * Leadership engagement

Cons

* This site has an outdated cafeteria not reflective of a company worth $100Billion. * Some team members get overwhelmed by the amount of work * Older equipment (people cut corners during maintenance) * Cleaning up after other shifts
