Pros

Good benefits, decent mobility if you want to move internally, pays better than most companies around Boise. You can succeed if you work many hours and play politics well. Some people fit well, some don't, so take it with a grain of salt.

Cons

The usual big tech company fare: pointless meetings, BS politics, evening calls (read: bad work/life balance), lack of willingness to promote people in order to keep the balance sheet looking good, performance reviews that may lead to firing, seducing new college grads to join on cheap while pushing out the older, expensive folks, providing more jobs overseas for cheaper labor instead of domestic. Micron's new leadership wants the company to follow the Silicon Valley model, which is great if you're in California with lots of tech jobs available. Boise, not so much. Micron is basically Sandisk now with all of the new leadership in place.

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.
