Pros

They make good attempts to reach from the corporate level down to the bottom of the organizations at the different sites to get feedback and make policy or benefits changes. I like that they try to engage. The benefits are good.

Cons

Pay is noncompetitive to the rest of the industry. They are ok being last in pay. If you are new or are accepting an offer from a Micron recruiter, just know you are being paid the bottom of your pay level and less than people at other companies in the same job. They make no attempt to retain any talent. Middle management at the Virginia site actively promotes based on nepotism versus skill, ability, value, or qualifications across all organizations. Attrition rates at the site are probably the worst in the Micron network of FABs over the last couple years. They lose more people than they can hire each month for years now. They are reaching critical staffing issues. I've heard managers openly brag about denying raises and promotions to get people to quit. The common phrase when I find out someone left coming from managers is the problem isn't us its they aren't a good fit here. There's no HR presence here, mangers can do any unethical thing here and its never followed up on and it's their word over anything. Any feedback given faces immediate retaliation, to sink a person's career if a manager finds out, so no one wants to give feedback on company surveys. they actually coach the departments on filling out the corporate surveys that its needs to be positive....and they tell their direct reports they can read all comments given and know who made them. I would not recommend anyone looking in this industry to work for Micron if you're looking to be a process technician, process engineer, or on the equipment side. Really any other company you will get more out of the experience and treated better. Every company has downsides so there's not always a grass is greener thing, but I don't understand why let your management be so toxic when there's such a shortage of people in the industry. If you're looking for quick industry experience and you're a new engineer, just plan on a 1- or 2-year plan to get some experience and then leave as quick as you can, this is not where you want to have a career at. After all the years I've given to Micron I'm embarrassed to say I work for them. I have begun to look elsewhere I can't keep witnessing what's going on and continue to work for a place that has no values. I'm not angry at Micron just sad, because there's no reason for a business to operate that way. If you know someone that is or used to work for Micron...they will just say yeah, "it's just the Micron way".

Pros

Decent pay, great stock grants and stock purchase plan. You can be at the forefront of memory technology driving today's AI megaboom, and benefit from the high demand (i.e. soaring stock price).

Cons

Little sense of community, lifeless office environment, dead-eyed and overworked employees. "Flexible work arrangements" in name only, as recent policy changes have significantly reduced effectiveness especially if you have a long commute or family life. Too much emphasis on unimportant buzz such as embracing diversity and inclusion is just annoying, but par for the course in today's big tech industry.
