Pros

Paycheck-until your are dropped military style

Cons

Absolutely no recognition for MS degree Fab is run like a 1930s sweat shop. Old boys network - If you have a Boise connection, you're protected. Extremely poor management practices - Autocratic. Extremely low employee retention rate - Several firings in last year Day shift is loaded with management "favorites", enjoying high salaries with non essential responsibilities. 12 hr, two month rotating shifts are often understaffed with various conflicting priorities. Lower hourly/ lower skilled Production/Technicians are replacing higher skilled higher salaried Engineers on shift Engineering Process leads have very limited people management experience. Some have "special Protection" from their management. Very few career opportunities

Pros

Decent pay, great stock grants and stock purchase plan. You can be at the forefront of memory technology driving today's AI megaboom, and benefit from the high demand (i.e. soaring stock price).

Cons

Little sense of community, lifeless office environment, dead-eyed and overworked employees. "Flexible work arrangements" in name only, as recent policy changes have significantly reduced effectiveness especially if you have a long commute or family life. Too much emphasis on unimportant buzz such as embracing diversity and inclusion is just annoying, but par for the course in today's big tech industry.
