Pros

Not many "pros" for this company. Good technical training and some helpful people. Gives you some visibility to what other companies are doing with the products.

Cons

1) Bad process training and contact training. Unless you've been with the company for a number of years, don't expect anyone to tell you who to talk to get answers or things done. There was absolutely zero training on what each group in Micron did. 2) Also don't expect a work life balance here. You'll work from 6am - 11pm, which leaves you tired the next door all the way through the weekend. Everyone on vacation is expected to work on their vacation to reply to customers or to co-workers. You may even get messages on Teams during the weekend. 3)Company is super corporate, so don't expect them to be a "family", numbers are the only thing that matter. Good or bad performance, when the revenue dips for one quarter, expect layoffs, with zero transparency when they will happen. Layoffs were announced right before Christmas, and nothing happened till mid February. So a month of anxiety will await you. Also beware of politics, people will not share information or workload for job security. 4)Technology-wise always behind S-----g. So talking to customers will be a pain. Slow processes within the company will make your job harder. Documentation isn't good when looking back on older issues, very minimal comments made. 5) Insurance is also bad, coverage isn't great. The type of medications that are covered are bad. 6) RSU amount is tiny compared to other companies, and can only be vested after the first year.

Pros

Strong organizational growth – The company is continuously expanding, which creates exciting opportunities for career development and new challenges. Attractive RSU compensation – With the recent significant rise in stock price, the RSU (Restricted Stock Unit) package has become a highly rewarding part of the overall compensation.

Cons

Organizational silos – Each team or department tends to operate in its own silo, which can limit cross-functional collaboration and visibility into what other groups are working on. Overly strict internal security policies – While data security is important, the current policies can be excessively restrictive, making it difficult to share documents and resources even among colleagues working toward the same goals. This can slow down productivity and hinder efficient collaboration.
