Work-life balance overshadowed by office politics - Systems Engineer Micron Technology Employee Review

Great team, good people. Challenging work and scope but ability to take things on and make an impact. High growth potential.

Too many meetings in evenings with Asian teams Some politics

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

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.
