Pros

Many opportunities and internal job changes. Mostly non-hierarchical, but varies from department to department. Makes an effort and tries to improve employee wellbeing, but still limited by fierce desire to perform and hence stifled by need for hard work. Supportive of diversity, equality and inclusion, as well as flexible work arrangements (hybrid work from home). Decent compensation, paid overtime for engineers and technicians. Daily food allowance, managers get transport and mobile phone allowance.

Cons

Workload is unevenly split across different departments, certain departments see constant high intensity but pay does not match the workload disparity. Middle management is not well compensated in comparison to other industries. Too much emphasis given on global teams' decision making, alignment and centralization. Reaction to high performance via rewards and promotion is slow.

Pros

The hours are excellent, as there are few other jobs that offer 3 on/4 off, 4 on/3 off where I can have such an excellent work/life balance. Almost everyone I have encountered has been very easy to learn from and work with. Micron offers many benefits that support having a family, including direct financial, TOP, insurance, and savings benefits. Get to work with humanity's most cutting-edge technology providing one of the most important products in human history. Fulfilling work.

Cons

The pay is acceptable, but you will be seriously pressed to find a place to live near the main site in Boise. Housing availability for families is severely limited while apartments, while more numerous, have become significantly more expensive to rent. Between that and the rise of the cost of living in the area, the base pay here is difficult to cover everything if you didn't show up with some monetary reserves. People are trying their best, but training very much needs attention getting better organized and structured. Especially working in an R&D environment with so many different dangerous materials and equipment. Even more seriously, there is some doubt that you can get proper support if you are actually injured in this environment. You may find yourself getting told whatever injury you suffered at work is a "pre-existing condition". This is not a hypothetical.
