Pros

Great knowledge development from many years. Stocks can be accumulated from long years of service. Food benefit of $2.5 every day. Stable job.

Cons

I did not think Micron will have cons, but comparing to Infineon and Globalfoundaries which are also in downturn and doing badly, Micron has developed many cons in last 2 years 1. Salary is VERY low compared to market. 2. Micron prefers fresh hires and don't adjust salary compared to youngsters or Fresh Hires. This pay revision cycle I got 3% raise compared to my junior who got 9% raise. Both of us no promotion and but of us high rating of 4. So you can see clear differentiation. 3. No OT allowed to enter, even if you work extra hours. No time-off and no compensation of any kind. 4. No Micron points (Bravo) anymore. So if you collaborate with other teams, the maximum you will get is a stupid email of appreciation. No spot bonus also. 5. Biggest issue of all: no FAIR promotion. The people who get promoted are those have HIGH visibility and those who impress bosses. Cliche roles like automation which do not see immediate gains, will be ignored.

Pros

Strong organizational growth – The company is continuously expanding, which creates exciting opportunities for career development and new challenges. Attractive RSU compensation – With the recent significant rise in stock price, the RSU (Restricted Stock Unit) package has become a highly rewarding part of the overall compensation.

Cons

Organizational silos – Each team or department tends to operate in its own silo, which can limit cross-functional collaboration and visibility into what other groups are working on. Overly strict internal security policies – While data security is important, the current policies can be excessively restrictive, making it difficult to share documents and resources even among colleagues working toward the same goals. This can slow down productivity and hinder efficient collaboration.
