Good first job to learn the ropes, but it's difficult to say if this is a company you want to make a career with. - Software Engineer Micron Technology Employee Review

Pros

My group at Micron is really fun to work in, primarily because the team is knowledgeable and friendly, and always tries to stay on the cutting edge. Micron also offers great education benefits, and you can really hope to advance yourself through this program that offers to pay for higher education as long as it is in the same technical area as your work.

Cons

The heirarchy is relatively flat, and therefore promotions are relatively difficult. Also, given the market conditions, things like bonuses and perks are hard to come by, since it seems like Micron loses more money than it makes. It also seems like some of the other core groups are difficult to work with.

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.
