Pros

Opportunity to meet people from all over the world. If you like small towns and playing in the outdoors, Boise is a really great place.

Cons

Hard to advance. "Bonus Restructuring" meant that after 12 years my bonus would be less than the one I received after just starting with the company. You were just a number and replaceable at any time. Management had no desire in helping their people gain new skills and move up in their careers.

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.
