Pros

They make good attempts to reach from the corporate level down to the bottom of the organizations at the different sites to get feedback and make policy or benefits changes. I like that they try to engage. The benefits are good.

Cons

Pay is noncompetitive to the rest of the industry. They are ok being last in pay. If you are new or are accepting an offer from a Micron recruiter, just know you are being paid the bottom of your pay level and less than people at other companies in the same job. They make no attempt to retain any talent. Middle management at the Virginia site actively promotes based on nepotism versus skill, ability, value, or qualifications across all organizations. Attrition rates at the site are probably the worst in the Micron network of FABs over the last couple years. They lose more people than they can hire each month for years now. They are reaching critical staffing issues. I've heard managers openly brag about denying raises and promotions to get people to quit. The common phrase when I find out someone left coming from managers is the problem isn't us its they aren't a good fit here. There's no HR presence here, mangers can do any unethical thing here and its never followed up on and it's their word over anything. Any feedback given faces immediate retaliation, to sink a person's career if a manager finds out, so no one wants to give feedback on company surveys. they actually coach the departments on filling out the corporate surveys that its needs to be positive....and they tell their direct reports they can read all comments given and know who made them. I would not recommend anyone looking in this industry to work for Micron if you're looking to be a process technician, process engineer, or on the equipment side. Really any other company you will get more out of the experience and treated better. Every company has downsides so there's not always a grass is greener thing, but I don't understand why let your management be so toxic when there's such a shortage of people in the industry. If you're looking for quick industry experience and you're a new engineer, just plan on a 1- or 2-year plan to get some experience and then leave as quick as you can, this is not where you want to have a career at. After all the years I've given to Micron I'm embarrassed to say I work for them. I have begun to look elsewhere I can't keep witnessing what's going on and continue to work for a place that has no values. I'm not angry at Micron just sad, because there's no reason for a business to operate that way. If you know someone that is or used to work for Micron...they will just say yeah, "it's just the Micron way".

Pros

pay is not bad to average for area

Cons

Micromanagement at its best. So many managers and leads with little no experience or ability to actually lead people. Yearly review system kills teamwork and promotes back-stabbing. They care more about keeping shareholders happy than employees anymore. Good old boys culture is still alive and well in upper management.

Pros

Coworkers are mostly really good people. Innovation is minimally encouraged.

Cons

If you’re a stellar performer and you resign for a better opportunity at another company, some in management tend to take it personally. They may walk you out the door immediately despite a 2+ week notice or longer offer to commit to complete current projects, work, or provide training for your replacement . Then if you do leave and try to come back, some former managers may bad-talk you to the the hiring manager. This short-sighted tactic effectively blackballs a former employee from being rehired in the future and serves to discourage from even applying again. This seems especially true if the former employee was a stellar performer and thought they had left on good terms. The Meritocracy implemented in recent years has caused many in management to “manage by spreadsheet” and to load their teams up with only degreed engineers and candidates that fit diversity hiring criteria. This results in hiring team members based on racial, gender, and sexual orientation biases instead of competitively on a candidate’s ability to perform the job functions relative to other candidates. Hiring is slowwww. Taking 6months, 12months, or even longer from the date of application. The longer an applicant waits the much higher likelihood a market downturn will cancel the job requisition before they can be hired.
