Pros

Helpful friendly colleagues Comfortable environment (fab) Comparing to other semiconductor companies in sg, Micron is the best in terms of benefits.

Cons

Certain departments are seen as inferior despite the constant preaching of one Micron. Even the management feels the same which is not a fair view because every department has its fair share of capable employees. This leads to dissatisfaction. People lose the motivation to be at their best because once you are not part of the management’s good books/so-called star players (who are not spectacular imo), you won’t be promoted. Management is self-serving. They just want the beautiful image/slides to present to the executives. As what another review wrote, it is more impt to look good than to be right. Chasing tails and data that is if no value. Appraisal and employee’s surveys are done for show. Nothing would really change. In other companies, all employees, regardless of position levels are given the chance to travel to other sites. Here, only the management travels around. Some business travels are clearly not needed. Some departments get to have multiple team buildings per year while some barely had one. Some promotions and hiring are highly doubtful. Hiring own people for political agendas when hiring could have been done in local sites for local positions. Some managers do not even have the necessary knowledge. Just pure leaching and pushing others for information. Top heavy. Too many levels. EVP, SVP, VP, directors, 3 layers of managers. Talk about efficiency and cost savings.

Incompetence, theft, cut-throat

Pros

Nice place to live, good health insurance.

Cons

Incompetence - Managers with no formal training in process improvement (Six-sigma, etc), PMP process and topics, productivity software (for transparency/traceability), and software standards/Architecture (globals variables are perfect). Theft - theft of your ideas from multiple levels of management then they argue the ideas are theirs. Cut Throat - no transparency, so managers can control the upward perception, future direction not shared, excluded from meeting. Since its hard to get qualified people to move to Boise, positions are filled with friends who lack the skills. Manage by fear is what they do. Become a "YES MAN" to survive, not a place to use your skills or expand them.

Pros

The people that work there are amazing and talented. Good benefits.

Cons

New CEO and new VP's do not know what they are doing. This company was founded with mid-management decisions and bottom to top style management. Now its managed top down with authoritarian rule.
