Pros

They pay ok for the area. They have decent benefits there are many different shift to work. There is always constant change.

Cons

There is a network of managers and way too many managers and supervisors. They have a policy of no manager left behind. There have been massive layoffs in the last few years but very rarely has it ever affected managers. They have just added additional layers of management many with only one or two people that report to them. Seems like mostly all management does is cause politics then have to deal with the politics they have created.

Pros

6 wks of vacation a year.

Cons

Very low salary. Very hard to progress professionally as Technician. Hourly scale stops AT $30/hr. After that, look for 15-20K pay cut to entry level engineer.

Pros

I have had good opportunities to continue to grow in my career while in Micron IS. I'm able to suggest new ideas (however I must be very cautious not to be seen as going against the grain, and getting traction on these is very difficult. Also, little credit is given back when traction is finally gained - usually after at least 12 mos).

Cons

Work life balance is very company oriented. Very limited ability to work from home and overall WFH has a negative perception when it comes to promotions or abilities. There is a trust issue between management and non-management team members. Management has difficulty monitoring employees based on productivity, and instead uses the "onsite badge report" which shows when you're actually working from a Micron facility. If you're working from home, that is seen as welcome but not part of your 40 hour work week, and in reality Micron really wants more hours from any non-management employee than could be ever possible. There are more process responsibilities assigned to team members than could ever be followed (at least while still keeping productive on real work), and policies are written for the lowest productive employees instead of the higher performers. There is always too much work in the pipeline than feasible, and it's more of a "yes-man" oriented culture than one that makes decisions based on hard numbers. On a postive spin, the company is working to improve on some of these areas.
