Pros

They provide a lot of time off, and have a good benefits package.

Cons

Management is very secretive about the company. The company has struggled since it's inception with a few windows of success driven by an exceptional market. Yet, they will never acknowledge mistakes and try new directions. They just keep failing over and over which hurts the average worker each time they have a layoff. They are also very good 'ol boy oriented, so advancement is based on who you know and are close to.

Pros

Boise is a nice town to live in, especially for the young professional. There is hiking, biking, whitewater, and a nice downtown area. I especially enjoyed having the foothills so close and did numerous bike rides and other activities nearby. Micron offers an above-average starting salary, especially considering that Boise is a very cheap place to live (compared with Silicon Valley).

Cons

Micron is in a difficult industry and has been struggling with commodity RAM pricing. It competes with Samsung which is head and shoulders better at making memory. I found the memory business to be less exciting than other semiconductor businesses. Micron is trying to diversity into other areas besides memory, but they aren't seeming to get a good foothold in any other sectors.

Pros

Micron is a good place to work from the career of a technician on up. It is a fast paced workplace where you work with leading edge technology. The training has been better now than it has been in the past. Through goal setting, Micron Technology steers its individuals to peak performance. There are always opportunities to excel in your area as long as you are open minded and don't mind working overtime in order to complete extra projects. Shift work from early morning to late at night is not too bad, if you are in a position to get promoted to day shift, you end up working 50+ hours a week.

Cons

Being an operator isn't that great because people look down upon you.. This job seems like if you screw up once you are gone if you are new, but if you have been there for a long time you are kind of grand fathered in- and a lot of low skilled poor performing employees end up staying in their positions as long as they are well liked. Politics is a good chunk of your every day work schedule, which i am sure that most jobs have their fair share of. During today's troubling economy the workload is increasing and the staffing is decreasing.
