Pros

Micron has had a huge shift over the course of the last 5 years or so since Sanjay came in as the CEO. -This is a much better work environment from a younger engineer stand point. The vision and values of the company make it one you would resonate in my opinion.

Cons

Pay is very good for the area competition but seriously lags behind when we talk about trying to afford to live in Boise. You are likely to have to sprawl out to Nampa, Caldwell, Kuna to make it a well balanced life from saving for retirement, having money for fun, and owning a home.

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.
