Pros

I enjoyed the culture and am glad to see the top management are working on improving competitiveness and listening to employees. Semiconductor industry is a tough industry with major players in Asia where there is no work/life balance so it makes more challenge for US company to compete.

Cons

Depending on what group you are in and who are your managers, the micro climate can be different. Career advancement in manufactory for people with advanced degree is limited. Sometimes there is too much red tapes but it is improving. However the efficiency still needs to improve in order to compete with Asian players.

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.
