Micron Technology Process Control Systems Engineer reviews

Absolutely no recognition for MS degree Fab is run like a 1930s sweat shop. Old boys network - If you have a Boise connection, you're protected. Extremely poor management practices - Autocratic. Extremely low employee retention rate - Several firings in last year Day shift is loaded with management "favorites", enjoying high salaries with non essential responsibilities. 12 hr, two month rotating shifts are often understaffed with various conflicting priorities. Lower hourly/ lower skilled Production/Technicians are replacing higher skilled higher salaried Engineers on shift Engineering Process leads have very limited people management experience. Some have "special Protection" from their management. Very few career opportunities

Company culture and management is terrible. Draconian, oppressive, manipulative, and judgmental. Major politics. Does not encourage people to think, only follow instructions (too bad things come up ALL the time that no instructions are written for). When something goes wrong (big or small does not matter), management always feels the need to find a scapegoat. Slight bias against women, foreigners, or people who are actually nice for management positions (same people who often end up being the scapegoat as well). Expected to work FAR more than 40hrs/wk or you "aren't a team player". Several positions require you to be on call 24/7.
