Pros

When you're done working there, you can compare it to the rest of the professional world, and be glad you left.

Cons

Management is inept and full of backstabbers and liars. Don't expect any guidance on elevating your career at Micron. You'll be too busy trying to hit unreasonable schedules created by other people who don't have to do the work. Yearly "performance reviews" are a joke. You're given a silly 1-5 rating by a manager who doesn't know what you do, and who checks in once a year. No work/life balance due to all of the above. Routine is 60 hrs/wk. Unreasonable vacation policy that is not competitive. SanDisk takeover has made the working environment toxic. Micron is off shoring jobs as fast as possible. As a result, the best people have already left for other opportunities. Management by fear and intimidation. There are video cameras watching your every move. Managers monitor your key-card entry comings and goings. Managers actively monitor how long you're at your terminal, and how long (in seconds) it's been since your mouse has moved.

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.
