Pros

Some systems and processes are non existent and therefore a bit of a clean slate to make any changes without fear of breaking things.

Cons

- Location is 20 mins away from the nearest estates, if that was not bad, they forced some of us to move to 10A which is even further from town, adding to extra commute time of at least 30 mins every single day. People living in other parts of Singapore routinely spend 3 hours every day on the commute. - 4 days in the office being mandated - Very low pay compared to market peers and local cost of living increases. The last pay increase was in 2021 and since then we have lived through the worst inflation crisis for over 2 decades. No bonus being paid in 2023. - They say do less with less after the recent round of headcount reductions but the reality on the ground is: do much more with less. Morale is very low with lots of work, jumping between multiple conflicting priorities and meetings. Regularly having to catch up and reply to emails / messages, prepare slides, complete action items after shift hours while commuting and while at home, resulting in poor work life balance. - No systems and procedures in place. Insane bureaucracy while completing small tasks, people still working from excel sheets, disparate IT systems which wont talk to each other, you need to contact 6x colleagues to enact a change because each site has a different process for change management. - workforce filled with new college graduates or know it all veterans who are unwilling to help, and very little in between. No wonder it takes them over 18 months to ramp up High Bandwidth Memory production when competitors are already selling these and are innovating much, much faster. BTW this is also a strategy planning failure as it was revealed that the company didnt think AI was going to be a big deal for years to come and so no roadmap made to start producing HBMs and were caught surprised by NVIDIAs share price increase recently and noticed that HBMs were being supplied to NVDA from Samsung and Hynix.

Pros

Benefits seem competitive on the outside. (Further inspection is required to see through the façade.)

Cons

Decision making is made at a much to high level. Managers are not allowed to make decisions for their team and are handcuffed to corporate dictatorship. (Example - during Covid, certain roles were forced to be onsite even if their responsibilities have been demonstrated to have no impact due to working from home.) And MANY other examples. Software rollouts for Micron's operations are EXCESSIVELY buggy and do not work as intended. The running joke is that the end users are the beta testers. The legacy systems are deactivated and end users are forced to deal with the new non-operational software. Restrictions on the IT front are rampant. Many tracking policies are put in place and most permission policies are super intrusive and inhibitive. Many individuals have to spend more time covering their butts than doing their job. They spend more time asking permission to do things (and placing the blame if something goes wrong on others) than innovating and problem solving. This is how the management operates, if an individual makes a mistake, the management slams the door on their hands. This stifles innovation, and creates a workplace governed by fear.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Working with leading technologies. Lots of different areas you can work in.

Cons

Management style could be better for project managers and managers in general. The work/life balance is abhorrent. Paid well, but you earn it for sure. For the first 20+ years it was a awesome place to work. Then after the new CEO, Sanjay Mehrota was hired, everything changed. It became just another California company. All the things that made it a great place to work were eliminated and they decided to open two locations in India for the rank and file positions.
