Pros

Rarely do salaried employees require to put in overtime or stay past 5:30pm. High salary for Boise and surrounding area.

Cons

Management appears to be too political. Mid level to senior management seem very prone to cronyism and promoting yes men than capable individuals. HR seems to have no say in fair employee treatment.

Pros

Excellent benefits, including: full insurance, stock purchase plan at 15% discount, ample paid time off. Onsite family healthcare.

Cons

Poor base pay, especially relative to local CoL and equivalent positions overseas (Micron pays 2x base salary of equivalent role vs. Samsung/Hynix in Asia, but 0.5x in America). Dysfunctional workplace driven by internal politics rather than yield/engineering cycles. Technicians are effectively forbidden from promotion or salary increase. Layoffs are frequent and merciless.
