Pros

The science and engineering is awesome. Some of the senior engineers are brilliant, top of the industry people!

Cons

New CEO’s plan looks to shut down the headquarters and is moving stuff overseas. Other companies have better outlook, better pay, and better history (intel, Samsung, San disk, applied materials, LAM ALL pay better and have better morale; do your research) no wonder there is a very large amount of senior talent going to better companies from R&D right now. Sanjay wants top talent while paying less then every single semiconductor company out there, and while taking morale to an all time low in a company that has seen some very hard times by cutting people and accelerating timelines without the resources to justify his demands.

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.
