Pros

Boise is a great location Some great people Diverse group of people Benefits are good with insurance and 401k matching (5%)

Cons

The worst thing is the silos!! When you rate a group of people and force a bell curve and cut the low performers you get everyone fighting each other for a better rating instead of promoting collaboration. Not much changes either, things get rolled out that are supposed to make things better but it feels as though they dont actually consult the people that work here and go off what is done at other companies. Things go good for a bit then they just revert to doing things the way they always do. Work life balance is also really bad, it feels like we work harder with less. Back filing positions dont happen very often so if you are short on your team expect to work more to pick up the slack. If you do work harder, expect promotion or talks of a raise only once a year on a cycle (if the company is doing good enough) otherwise you keep working hard without increase. Recognition is also hard to come by unless management is reminded to give praise. If you are looking for best in class company they are not it but for a mid tier tech company they are good. Unless you are from a top tier school, they mostly hire from within so getting in is difficult.

Pros

Excellent benefits, including: full insurance, stock purchase plan at 15% discount, ample paid time off. Onsite family healthcare.

Cons

Poor base pay, especially relative to local CoL and equivalent positions overseas (Micron pays 2x base salary of equivalent role vs. Samsung/Hynix in Asia, but 0.5x in America). Dysfunctional workplace driven by internal politics rather than yield/engineering cycles. Technicians are effectively forbidden from promotion or salary increase. Layoffs are frequent and merciless.
