Micron Technology reviews

Directors and Sr. Directors do not know...what they are doing. They do not give control to Managers and push all the blame to Managers.

Manassas location has a very poor management. Goals are intentionly set higher than reasonable margins and managers are held accountable for not meeting those numbers. That pressure bubbles up while coming down to individual contributors. People are set for failure. For the last 18 months, the attrition rate was immensely high. Higher management covered up this problem by reporting to the corporate that lower performers were leaving the company. I personally know at least 15 incredible engineers left the company during that time. Some of them were the only ones who knew how the most critical equipments in photolithography area breaths in and out. That attrition impacted the plant operation which made the upper management even more fierceful. All of the mid- management is in survival mode to not to get in trouble with upper leadership and they don’t have any bravery to back up their direct reports. People are expected to work long hours. If they don’t, it impacts their performance review.
