Pros

- Location in Manassas OK - Some of the employees are good to work with - Close to big city like D.C. - Good medical insurance

Cons

- Company has no interest in Micron Virginia site - Most hardworking and talented people have left in 2017 - Very demotivating management who treats engineers like secretaries for making presentations and useless updates - Company has Blue Collar Mentality where you are treated like a laborer/worker who won't get any jobs outside Micron especially the workers on H1Bs. - Company projects itself as Fortune 500 company but in reality works like a textile sweatshop in Asia. - Since last year most of the talent has either left Micron or Moved to Asia sites within Micron - Only way to get more money is through promotions and even that is not up to the mark with competitors in Northern Virginia nor with Other semiconductor firms in USA - There is Almost NO annual salary raise to account for INFLATION and cost of living increase with economy. So basically they give you market adjustment or increment like once in 3 years. That is also like a demeaning low percentage. - If you interview with them and don't negotiate a good starting salary then you are basically working on the same salary for next 3-4 years. - If I could go back in time as a Graduate, I would not work for them ever. - Work-life balance is horrible, managers want you to stay beyond your work hours as it is necessary "to show you are committed to company." Only company I have seen in this age and time where salaried employees are monitored like high school kids - Micromanagement is so high that some employees need to take medicines for tension and anxiety due to work related stress (not exaggerating) - The one and only paid cafeteria onsite is so horrible that most employees go out to eat. Food is not even fit for human consumption.

Pros

Strong organizational growth – The company is continuously expanding, which creates exciting opportunities for career development and new challenges. Attractive RSU compensation – With the recent significant rise in stock price, the RSU (Restricted Stock Unit) package has become a highly rewarding part of the overall compensation.

Cons

Organizational silos – Each team or department tends to operate in its own silo, which can limit cross-functional collaboration and visibility into what other groups are working on. Overly strict internal security policies – While data security is important, the current policies can be excessively restrictive, making it difficult to share documents and resources even among colleagues working toward the same goals. This can slow down productivity and hinder efficient collaboration.
