Pros
Pay is good for Boise area since cost of living is generally lower than many other metro areas. I have seen a steady increase in salary over the past several years that has outpaced the cost of living increases of the area and reflected pretty accurately on my performance. I have experienced a broad degree of autonomy on my projects and my managers give me lots of flexibility in determining how to execute tasks the way I think is best. Very little micromanaging in my experience. The work atmosphere is relatively low stress for how busy everyone is. I don't feel like there is ever anger or animosity between people even when things get crazy and stressful. Opportunities for career advancement are pretty good right now (we'll see if they tighten education vs experience requirements more) but require self initiation. Boise area is nice if you like being outdoors and outdoor activities. The city is very clean, safe, and family friendly with lots of community parks. Depending on where you live, the commute to work can be just a few minutes. A number of people ride bikes to work.
Cons
In the Technology Development department the % of women is still very low (~5% in my area but generally higher 10-15% in other areas) but has improved significantly in the past few years. The new TD office building is pretty nice and modernly styled. The other office buildings are undergoing renovations but movement on this has been slow so office/cube accommodations are fine but not as nice as other big tech companies. Career development training was very lacking in the past but is getting better and allowing more mobility. Very little public transportation in Boise although the city is getting better with Van Pools and drivers are generally considerate of bikers who obey good riding sense.

Pros
Micron gives over time pay, which can be a motivation for those who work hard. For those employee that has intention to rise and shine, generally bosses will gladly to help by assigning high visibility project to them.
Cons
The amount of work is tremendous and since it's 24 hours wafer fab, most of the engineer works there has to be ready 24hours on-call when there is an issue arises. No work and life balance in general, which can be observed from how the management team work, especially in manufacturing team. No clear direction and no sense of job security due to dynamic semi-con industry
