Micron Technology reviews

Micron is in a volatile industry, so it operates under a high level of risk. About 10% of the workforce was laid off in 2007, and there were a similar number of layoffs about 5 years before that. Having said that, Micron has really gotten good at taking care of the people they lay off. People I knew who were laid off were given generous severance packages and job placement assistance. Micron gives its managers a lot of leeway within their areas, so there can be some wide variance with regard to dress code, hours worked, etc. Some areas are more relaxed, but others will work you far too much, in my opinion.

No career advancement prospects, dead end job fit for people planning to retire soon. Budgets are calibrated per Boise standards, seriously shortchanging employees who work in more competitive markets such as Silicon Valley. They're very entrenched in old world practices and are yet to hear of progressive HR practices such as flex time or even a realistic definition of what "part time" is. Benefits suck and are non-existent if you work less than thirty two hours a week.
