Pros
- Decent pay but still lagging behind in comparison to other Bay Area companies - The company has a decent annual bonus structure which is a little extra cash in your pocket in the middle of the year. Be sure to read the program guidelines carefully as this may not be too much money when split within the year and after paying taxes. - If you like being on the road and travelling then this might be a good option. Micron believes in face time and promotes a lot of travel.
Cons
Micron offers zero work life balance. This company will take everything out of you and give you very little to nothing in return. Early mornings, working through lunches, late nights and constant travelling are the culture of Micron. Expect to be face time a lot. Micron does not believe in Work from Home and Telecommuting. All the control sits at Corporate in Boise, Idaho and there is little empowerment and decision making capabilities at other remote sites. There is no employee appreciation and recognition. It's all based on who likes you and how well you play the politics. Micron rewards the talkers and not the doers. Creative ideas and people who question the status quo are not welcome here. You will not last too long if you plan to innovate and question the status quo. Constantly walking on egg shells to speak up and give ideas. This is the place for you if you wish to be a follower, follow others and do not want to reinvent and innovate. Decent salaries but still lagging behind in comparison to other Bay Area companies and competitors. Stock awards are not worth much either. For the amount of work and zero work life balance it is not worth it. There is a lack of culture at Micron and too many silo's. There are too many levels and redundancy in roles and responsibilities. Growth and promotion opportunities mainly exist in Boise, Idaho. Growth comes very slow at Micron and mainly comes to those who play the game and have been at Micron, Idaho for a long time. Very heavy meeting intensive culture, you may find yourself in meetings all day and getting very little done. Even basic processes are not set up and you will find yourself scrambling and constantly calling folks for help and just to get by on a daily basis. Be prepared to spend tons of time on just figuring out the basics. For remote sites outside of Idaho there is very little to no training and development opportunities available. Micron invests very little to none in Culture, Engagement, Morale, Rewards and Work life Balance. They do not care about how they treat their employees and operate in a box. Micron does not live and breathe Creativity. Outside of Idaho Micron does not care about New College Grads and Intern opportunities. They operate in a box that only focuses on Boise, Idaho. Unless you are looking to or are motivated to move to Idaho this might not be the most impressive work environment that will offer you great skills, learning or growth opportunities.
