Not a very good experience at all. Felt forgotten and alone in an increasingly uninovative and volatile industry. - Anonymous employee Micron Technology Employee Review

Pros

If you are educated and from outside the U.S., Micron is ready to hire. During good financial cycles, they pay for schooling, matching 401k contributions, and sometimes bonuses that do not require much achievement. Benefits do include those shared by most companies these days (e.g. individual 401k contributions, health, dental,...)

Cons

Shift work is primary placement for most employees, and consists of 12 hour shifts for 3 and 4 days a week, alternating weeks and alternating day/night schedules. Shift altering interferes with school hours at all local colleges. I have heard parents complain of not having much time to spend with kids and family. No onsite daycare program. Promotion criteria is unclear and ever-changing, making advancement pathways unable to be navigated. Very low rate of promotions, and in place of promotions, they have added numerous acknowledgement/recognition programs. Distinct seperation between Management, Engineers, Technicians, Production, and Facilities teams. Although a first shift does exist, the group of first shift individuals is highly competitve and made up of more senior personnell from other sites with no background at the current site. Technology mindset is stuck on memory products with no interest in being more innovative. Micron used to make a large portfolio of good products, but now have become a very unheard-of household name.

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.
