Pros

Top notch technology, good benefits, good general attitude. Boise Idaho is a great place for men

Cons

For women I would seriously reconsider moving to boise idaho. It is a small town that is stuck in the 1960s in terms of women's rights. Women are accepted as 4 things: stay at home wife, teacher, secretary, nurse. That's it. Much of this ideology is carried into the work place at micron. I had coworkers make remarks such as "I don't understand how people make a household work with two working parents, that could be bad for the kids". I also found that you get a lot of teasing and strange remarks that you don't get in larger, more liberal cities. It's also never a good idea to work for a company that is the "only game in town" but that's up to you.

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.
