Pros

Compressed Work Week and good pay for area if you can get promoted. Company is very good about promoting from within. You can make a good deal of career progress without a degree. Unfortunately when the chip market is down jobs are shed, leaving it hard to find comparable work with no degree.

Cons

Effort is rewarded much more than results. Extra hours for salaried production is expected, even if there are no projects to work on. You also have a wide range of management ability and styles within a relatively small organization. Management changes with the wind and you end up having 5-6 different direct supervisors within a 2 year span.

Pros

Boise. The only reason to work for Micron Technology is the community of Boise is an exceptional place to live with access to the beautiful foothills, fun and friendly downtown, and better than average cultural activities. Micron used to be a culture of promote from within and a 'go get 'em' attitude but this has changed as the business has steadily declined. Team-members for the most part are friendly and share a western hard-work ethic that is taken advantage of by senior management. Micron's non-Boise JV's and global partners continually outperform the Boise sites that are bogged down with senior managers from the 'good ole boy network' and are incapable of keeping up with industry trends.

Cons

The business is poorly run with few values that employees can cling to for direction. Micron as a whole undercuts its sharpest minds by requiring them to work extraordinary long hours with little praise and little hope of advancement. While a very diverse company, especially in R&D, it undercuts this with talk over the cubicle wall of the most right-wing ranting Idaho can produce, making its international employees feel less at home. The last few years stock price and productivity, where even in quarters where its competitors were making strategic advances and profits Micron continued to decline, show that it is mismanaged and requires new management to turn its profitability around before it cannot continue operations on credit.

Pros

I am fortunate enough to have a boss that allows flex time. Other bosses I have had at Micron did not even though I was performing the same tasks. It can be a good place or bad place to work. It all depends on who you report to.

Cons

Benefits have steadily reduced over the years. Salaries are lower than average for the industry.
