Micron Technology reviews

The industry is kind of binding, it is hard to break out of the semiconductor industry once you stay too long in it.

Shift work is primary placement for most employees, and consists of 12 hour shifts for 3 and 4 days a week, alternating weeks and alternating day/night schedules. Shift altering interferes with school hours at all local colleges. I have heard parents complain of not having much time to spend with kids and family. No onsite daycare program. Promotion criteria is unclear and ever-changing, making advancement pathways unable to be navigated. Very low rate of promotions, and in place of promotions, they have added numerous acknowledgement/recognition programs. Distinct seperation between Management, Engineers, Technicians, Production, and Facilities teams. Although a first shift does exist, the group of first shift individuals is highly competitve and made up of more senior personnell from other sites with no background at the current site. Technology mindset is stuck on memory products with no interest in being more innovative. Micron used to make a large portfolio of good products, but now have become a very unheard-of household name.
