Micron Technology reviews

Huge separation between management and employees in both communication and culture. Shift workers are treated, more or less, like pets by even their peers on the M-F day shift. Recognition for good work is very sparse and on a you, your boss and his boss only platform through the sparingly used "Rewards and Recognition" program, but public criticism for mistakes is the standard operating procedure. Tendency to kill mosquitoes with cannons: a small, isolated incident is likely to trigger a policy change. Eventually all tedious work is passed down to shift engineers. Priorities are obvious in site decisions: cafeteria and break room were moved to far side of site from manufacturing floor to adjacent to cube farm. Break room was promised on fabrication side, then idea scrapped in favor of putting out-door dining deck on the new caff. Office politics are a little out of control. Employees are expected to put the company first: work / life balance is horribly skewed.

During tough times, the option of going part time or to a different shift was not possible. But i was able to get two years of school payed for before having a conflict with my school schedule. When i was working their i saw a lot of dead weight, employees standing around, sleeping, and gossiping.
