Pros

The company is riding an unprecedented upturn in the memory business. Good career growth opportunities for those able to take them.

Cons

The US management exploits employees to the bone, just to get rid of them when projects or activities are completed. This turns out in a constant state of uncertainty, leaving people to ask theirselves who will be hit in the next round of lay offs and redundancies. Management style is leadership by proximity. Bullying behaviour on non-US employees is perpetrated by middle and low management, with the tacit consent of the higher hierarchy.

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.
