Micron Technology Test Engineer reviews

Managers have no problem scheduling work on the weekend with no actual comp time policy World wide presence requires late hours in US for meetings, creating horrible work life balance. Managers like to make all the decisions and take credit for your work Too many Golden Children Managers don't like to listen to problems from the workers and come up with solutions Will not fight to keep talent (offer more money than competitor) Some departments are very slow to promote or advance your career You don't have any competition for hiring in Boise, so they don't worry about treating you like a person, just an asset They are becoming elitist and age-ist - driving recruitment from "upper tier schools" and removing experienced industry professionals for new college grads just to save a few bucks. They are using a 5 point rating system so they can keep a constant flow of layoffs with the low rated employees, without seeming like they ever let anyone go. It has created an environment of fear among employees Managers have little leadership skills, they are usually culled from the better engineers.

New Management (New CEO who brought own management team), finding its way. Implementing more progressive culture, and Silicon Valley ideas. Global Company which is good except it means early meetings and late meetings with global teams. Many times on same day so a 12hr day is sometimes not uncommon.
