Micron Technology reviews

Management runs Fab 6 like it’s a startup. Overtime is the answer to everything. Focus groups accomplish nothing. Questions and requests to Equipment Owners (EO) are generally ignored: equipment parts lists and PM kit parts lists are incomplete; drawings and parts lists are generally unavailable. Maintenance procedures either don’t exist or are incorrect. Once management agreed to restock tool carts of missing and broken tools, it took 8 months. Required tools still aren’t available requiring borrowing from other areas, or making “due” increasing downtime. Training is all OJT and CBT. Management is completely unresponsive to employee concerns and feedback; Management spends its time creating graphs and reports of past events and does nothing to be proactive. Customer’s rate Micron 4/4: worst rating. This is of no surprise to anyone who has worked at successful companies; Most management and EOs at Fab 6 would not “make-it” at companies such as Intel. CVD management and the EOs are not accountable for their mistakes. I am very disappointed to rate them so poorly. I would enjoy giving them the best rating, but I cannot. My conclusion: CVD management and EOs are incompetent and the general management is incompetent for allowing the situation to persist for 10 plus years. I am very concerned entrusting my economic future in Micron specifically Fab 6. Frustration is very high.

Employees on floor are treated unprofessionally even if professional degrees have been obtained, at least initially. Some people wind up in the good graces of management and their promotions and opportunities outpace others' by anywhere from 3-5 times New engineers are placed on the manufacturing floor until first shift positions open up at which point they are competitively selected for these positions. Shift schedule is set up as alternating day and night months of 12 hour shifts for 3/4 days/week. There is no clear path to first shift other than making friends with the right people. Unless you are a bully or a yes man, this is an awful place to work. Office politics are out of control with no clear HR role if you find yourself stuck in the middle. Management manages through fear and manipulation. Are not open and honest, yet claim they expect you to be; however, any negative criticisms are later used against you as "not being a team player" or "having a bad attitude". Quality of work is not assessed, only quantity and how many emails you send out to the entire department or how many you "reply all" too. Good leadership is determined by a willingness to publicly embarrass your coworkers. There is a bias against introverts for both leadership (expected), but even technical positions as well. So many strong but relatively quiet candidates get overlooked for promotions by the loudest person in the room and eventually get frustrated and leave.
