Think beyond Micron: Just ok is not ok

Pros

Lots to learn (you can keep learning new things as long as your here) , great hardworking co-workers and VERY rarely you may be lucky enough to have a great manager who encourages flex hours and has your back / protects you from senior management.

Cons

You cannot survive in a company which rates you against your co-workers and supports a forced bell curve distribution(rank and yank system). It causes unnecessary tension between teams, lack of cooperation and people are always fighting for attention. Due to the complexity of semiconductor industry, fresh grads take atleast a year to figure out the workings of the job and they are rated poorly just when they are have started to grow into their roles. This is illogical and unnecessary, new hires are forced to leave. People play favorites all the time and everything the management decides including ratings is too much of a blackbox. Everyone works too much and too long,there is no work life balance, everyone is always on-call. Not much potential for growth. THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE OF LAYOFFS. They also implemented a Mandatory time off policy for 2 quarters so far (6 days per quarter). This causes international employees to unnecessarily use hard earned time off which they are trying to save for a visit back home. This policy is very harsh and rigid. If you want to treat employees badly, why pretend you care at all?

Very poor work/life balance

Pros

The processes are interesting and should intrigue any engineer.

Cons

The work/life balance is terrible. Almost everyone shows up earlier to work than expected and almost no one leaves on time at the end of the day. You almost feel guilty for actually trying to follow your scheduled work hours since everyone else is working extra. A big part of this is not staffing enough technicians and not training people well enough after they get hired. This makes engineers do the technicians job in addition to their engineering duties which can be time consuming and stressful in my opinion. As for the training issue, it appears they rely on experienced individuals from other semiconductor companies to make up for the fact that they cannot grow and develop their own people.

A once great company

Pros

Pay and benefits are tops in the area.

Cons

They are shifting things overseas and making working in Boise unbearable so we will all just leave instead of having to lay us off. New leadership is so focused on the stock price and not the employees. Spending $10 billion on buying back stock (legal stock price manipulation) while taking away training, travel, and the ability to hire good people. I would rather they lay us all off than to perpetuate this slow bleed - it’s dehumanizing. Although if they laid us all off they’d have to report it and it would hurt the stock price. I never understood what burnout meant...until now.
