A Great Workplace to Use Your Talents, Learn, and Solve Challenging Problems!

Pros
- There is so much to learn, and the company has a thorough training program to allow you to learn as quickly as possible. In addition to the "core curriculum", each engineer can easily access high-quality training videos and courses for when additional skills are needed. - All the fellow engineers in my team are incredibly patient with me as I learn. They seek to be helpful, while also allowing me to answer questions on my own. They, and all the supervisors and managers, never talk down to me or treat me as though I am on a lower level. - You actually feel connected to the CEO and VPs and all other managers! Large Zoom meetings with these company leaders are a frequent occurrence, and they never talk down to us. They are always optimistic and encouraging. Despite how large the company is, I really feel like I know the leaders well. - The benefits and compensation are extremely generous and too numerous to name, but here are a few: free physical checkups annually, a Health Savings Account, generous 401(k) options, an on-site cafeteria that provides discount meals, an onsite gym, a team-building budget for every team, the option to work from home if that is preferred, move-in assistance from a professional realtor, and many other benefits! Overall, I've loved working here at Micron! It's given me so many opportunities to grow and expand my talents.
Cons
- I was hired in the latter half of 2022, and the COVID-19 policy of Micron seemed far too restrictive and unscientific. Before being hired, I had to provide proof of vaccination. Despite being vaccinated, however, all employees were required to fill out a daily health survey, describing how we felt that day as well as other details. This daily survey, in addition to mandatory testing twice a week and masking when walking throughout the workplace, was an inconvenience that made the workplace less enjoyable. Please note: this policy is NO LONGER in place at Micron, being removed about a month after my hire, but it could possibly happen again in the case of another spike in COVID-19 or any other health situation deemed an emergency. Overall, this policy did not appear to respect the individual agency of thousands of bright, logical engineers who are capable of making well-informed decisions themselves, and it seemed to be more about signaling to the world how "safe" we were during the pandemic. - Particularly noticeable at the beginning of my hire (during the introductory trainings) was the company's focus on diversity. It made me feel like the company was making decisions based on the "color of [the employees'] skin", and other labels, rather than on the "content of their character".

Technology oriented mindset, not so employee freindly

Business Outlook
Pros
1. Company is putting lots of emphasis on Technological advancement and securing industry leading position in terms of technology for both DRAM and NAND. That helps engineers to work in new technology and find innovative solutions. 2. Good opportunity to grow your career, promotions are generally not too much delayed. 3. Good alignment between remote work and in person work; never force to stay at office all time if jobs are done timely. 4. Good health insurance benefits for both employee and their dependents.
Cons
1. Very reluctant to increase compensation package compared to competitors specially for Boise area where cost of living and housing increased dramatically over last few years. 2. Doesn't put enough resources and manpower for challenging projects resulting in long office hours/late night works for employees. 3. Work life balance is very poor due to less than required manpower and collaboration with sites at different parts of world . And company doesn't seem to care much about the well being of employees. 4. Recently lost lots of talented people to competitors and Company is struggling to hire quality engineers due to low salary offers, current hiring freeze, overall increasing living cost in Boise metro area. This eventually lowers manpower resource degrading work life balance even more and put the company in more challenging position.
