Pros

Reasonable starting pay Some good groups to work in

Cons

Frequent layoffs Difficult or no promotions No pay raises, benefits constantly being cut Very poor management and leadership Every new business offshoot or subsidiary is run by buddies of the CEO and VP's and subsequently is run into the ground while they get rich doing it. I could go on for hours.....

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.
