Pros

Micron has survived as number 2/3 memory company after Samsung/Hynix and is a US success story. Proud to be a part of that. Pay is decent but would like to see full transparency for male to female comparisons. The Boise team members in general are very dedicated and go out of their way to be helpful. The recent trend with more flexible working hours and location is convenient. Some of the changes that have taken place with Sanjay have been progressive and good for Micron.

Cons

. All recent management hires I think except one have been VPs from Sandisc or Western Digital who are from India and male. The diversity and inclusion they advertise is more on the surface and club like, it doesn’t mean there is a program to even out women in the higher level leadership positions or even identify those who would like to be. The good ole boys club is still in force unfortunately. It’s just a different nationality now. There is still dedicated mid level senior managers talent at Micron excited about many of the new changes but not empowered while directors and above are just frankly not managing their teams. This is a global company. Most jobs may require working evenings as we have Asia manufacturing sites. Be prepared. It’s expected. The unexpected part is that the organizations do not have process for justifying new headcount and many organizations run too lean. If that is the case you either have no work life balance because your work load is too much or you feel bad because you can never do as much as you would like to do. Top senior talent is leaving and the current leadership does not seem to have any concerns and in fact is creating policies that encourage that. The hiring strategy is one dimensional and seems short sighted to only hire new grads. But as we lose the senior level experience, who will train these new grads and how many excursions will Micron accept due to lack of senior talent and so many in training? Rating system is not owned by direct supervisor ,thus throughout the calibration process, your number may change. This is frustrating and demoralizing to the team member and their manager.

Just another "Shareholder Value" driven company

Pros

New executive team seems competent, higher pay when compared to other employers in Boise, on-site gym, on-site cafeteria, typically short commute when compared to other employers in major cities.

Cons

The only thing that matters is earnings (shareholder value - i.e. executive stock options and bonuses ), hypocrisy, worthless middle management, broken and archaic processes, extremely difficult to advance in your career unless you are coming in externally, low amount of vacation/sick days (they combine the two) mandatory prescribed vacation days during winter months to manipulate earnings, etc.

Pros

There is a portion of the population at Micron who cares about each out.

Cons

Management style has changed. While 'People' is a core value, targeting VSP for early retirement and Rank and Yank sends a different message. There is very little recognition for others contributions, leaving a very bad rat race mentality.
