Pros
Boise is nice, traffic is still alright. good temperate seasons. With lots of people bickering about AI and it's impacts, rest assured, with micron memory AI will never happen. A plus! Being me, I still got lots of experience out of it. There are a few good people there, but be careful. A good learning experience knowing just how much my life could get messed up having any faith in that corporation and yet how well I handled all the relentless flack I got.
Cons
3 years of my life are wasted. I couldn't find a job afterward either because Boise is a tech desert. *crickets *coyote howls Work place politics will make you want to kill yourself. Kurt Cobain style. The bad apples congregate like a pack of wolves, some good people herd together for protection. Be ware of the prior. know how to root out wolves in your heard. They will eat their own doesn't matter if you've been there 19 or 29 years they will give you a 'completely voluntary severance package just so they can boost their quarter losses by liquidating those retirement funds. like many other corporations they have their issues. It took a longer than normal time to even get considered for promotion, as compared to all my other pals who got jobs in other companies. it's hard because they were trying to make promotions more equal for all, which just made lazy people slack further and actually hard working people to bang their head against a wall. A vocally said target: Embrace business volatility. Yes. running around with your head chopped off and then getting curbed stomped simultaneously. That's volatility! management bullying tactics made me want to die. sometimes you'll work weekends when things are going crazy. this was normal. after a while I just refused and would work harder during the week. still asked to work weekends. They're Values are so morally misguided that any pro-culturism is completely gone in my book. Employees are dispensable to them.
