Pros

Not many "pros" for this company. Good technical training and some helpful people. Gives you some visibility to what other companies are doing with the products.

Cons

1) Bad process training and contact training. Unless you've been with the company for a number of years, don't expect anyone to tell you who to talk to get answers or things done. There was absolutely zero training on what each group in Micron did. 2) Also don't expect a work life balance here. You'll work from 6am - 11pm, which leaves you tired the next door all the way through the weekend. Everyone on vacation is expected to work on their vacation to reply to customers or to co-workers. You may even get messages on Teams during the weekend. 3)Company is super corporate, so don't expect them to be a "family", numbers are the only thing that matter. Good or bad performance, when the revenue dips for one quarter, expect layoffs, with zero transparency when they will happen. Layoffs were announced right before Christmas, and nothing happened till mid February. So a month of anxiety will await you. Also beware of politics, people will not share information or workload for job security. 4)Technology-wise always behind S-----g. So talking to customers will be a pain. Slow processes within the company will make your job harder. Documentation isn't good when looking back on older issues, very minimal comments made. 5) Insurance is also bad, coverage isn't great. The type of medications that are covered are bad. 6) RSU amount is tiny compared to other companies, and can only be vested after the first year.

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.
