Pros

When you're done working there, you can compare it to the rest of the professional world, and be glad you left.

Cons

Management is inept and full of backstabbers and liars. Don't expect any guidance on elevating your career at Micron. You'll be too busy trying to hit unreasonable schedules created by other people who don't have to do the work. Yearly "performance reviews" are a joke. You're given a silly 1-5 rating by a manager who doesn't know what you do, and who checks in once a year. No work/life balance due to all of the above. Routine is 60 hrs/wk. Unreasonable vacation policy that is not competitive. SanDisk takeover has made the working environment toxic. Micron is off shoring jobs as fast as possible. As a result, the best people have already left for other opportunities. Management by fear and intimidation. There are video cameras watching your every move. Managers monitor your key-card entry comings and goings. Managers actively monitor how long you're at your terminal, and how long (in seconds) it's been since your mouse has moved.

Pros

A lot friendly people, lots of challenges, room for career growth, great compensation and benefits, good vacation hours, flexible work hours, more relaxed environment compared to other tech companies

Cons

When you've become a senior engineer, it then depends on who you know or where you work in order to rise through the ranks. Sites where projects are run out of are Boise and Milipitas. Folsom has become a support site to those.

Pros

Handsome work environment, highly expertized and skilled colleagues. Good relationship with ground/middle-level management. Very skilled top management in the financial side. Potentially able to survive and consolidate the company in the mercyless market of memories 'till setting up a true monopoly with the former competitors, unless the industrial policy will result too short-sighted and unsustainable, impacting the financial health too.

Cons

"Segregationist" management of italian human and industial resources. Despite good values found at Numonyx acquisition and good job done after it, Micron is showing to abandon Italy, re-localize activities abroad and abnormally shrink the local workforce (respect the declared 5% worldwide "excess"). Other Con's of working in Micron Italy: worker salary/treatment, work load are average worse than in US or other countries.
