Pros

Company practices pay-for-performance so rewards and recognition can be pretty generous if you are a high-performer. In terms of welfare, the company promotes employee health and wellness with many benefits and perks (gyms, travel vouchers redemption, company discounts etc.). Ample growth and development opportunities with many high-visibility and challenging projects. Colleagues work well with one another generally. Most part of company values are in place.

Cons

Some toxic leaders and colleagues (guess that happens everywhere). Some good leaders left the company under mysterious circumstances, others get promoted when they are not quite ready (if you lobby hard enough with some myopic or narcissistic bosses, you can get promoted or land yourself in high-visibility roles ahead of your readiness/potential). People work hard with long-hours but does not always produce high-quality results in part due to aptitude and abilities (including EQ). Re-orgs are not uncommon.

Pros

The hours are excellent, as there are few other jobs that offer 3 on/4 off, 4 on/3 off where I can have such an excellent work/life balance. Almost everyone I have encountered has been very easy to learn from and work with. Micron offers many benefits that support having a family, including direct financial, TOP, insurance, and savings benefits. Get to work with humanity's most cutting-edge technology providing one of the most important products in human history. Fulfilling work.

Cons

The pay is acceptable, but you will be seriously pressed to find a place to live near the main site in Boise. Housing availability for families is severely limited while apartments, while more numerous, have become significantly more expensive to rent. Between that and the rise of the cost of living in the area, the base pay here is difficult to cover everything if you didn't show up with some monetary reserves. People are trying their best, but training very much needs attention getting better organized and structured. Especially working in an R&D environment with so many different dangerous materials and equipment. Even more seriously, there is some doubt that you can get proper support if you are actually injured in this environment. You may find yourself getting told whatever injury you suffered at work is a "pre-existing condition". This is not a hypothetical.
