Pros

As a senior engineer with a family, I appreciated the work life balance.

Cons

Poor salary and sometimes cryptic bonus plans. Limited benefits compared to others in industry. Lack of stock compensation or even ESPP (when I left in 2006). Micron was a place to "punch in and out the clock" and get on with your personal life. Some might consider it a bit on the sleepy side compared to other companies. Also it seemed that everyone was a "lifer" Micron employee--many never worked anywhere else in the chip industry. This showed up in a lack of understanding of how things work elsewhere.

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.
