Pros

Good colleagues Good supervisor Good people culture High pay

Cons

No work life balance High workload Daily meeting from 8:30AM to 12PM+, yes daily. Mon-Fri. Only can do work in the afternoon, thats why alot people work until 10PM-2AM. Very intense stress Less transferrable skills (only soft skills are transferrable, technical little to none, cause too specific the jobscope)

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.
