Micron Technology reviews

Managment is bloated and overweight. This often makes getting things done quickly nearly impossible. There are more than 4 layers of heirarchy in product engineering and development alone. Unfortunately this bloated nature makes it hard to get promotions as well. Also, the DRAM/FLASH/IMAGER semiconductor field has become very commodity driven and suffers high peaks and deep valleys when looking at revenues. Entering a downturn in the economy, you don't want to be involved with this company as you are likely to be laid off.

Poor salary and sometimes cryptic bonus plans. Limited benefits compared to others in industry. Lack of stock compensation or even ESPP (when I left in 2006). Micron was a place to "punch in and out the clock" and get on with your personal life. Some might consider it a bit on the sleepy side compared to other companies. Also it seemed that everyone was a "lifer" Micron employee--many never worked anywhere else in the chip industry. This showed up in a lack of understanding of how things work elsewhere.
