Pluspunten
Boise. The only reason to work for Micron Technology is the community of Boise is an exceptional place to live with access to the beautiful foothills, fun and friendly downtown, and better than average cultural activities. Micron used to be a culture of promote from within and a 'go get 'em' attitude but this has changed as the business has steadily declined. Team-members for the most part are friendly and share a western hard-work ethic that is taken advantage of by senior management. Micron's non-Boise JV's and global partners continually outperform the Boise sites that are bogged down with senior managers from the 'good ole boy network' and are incapable of keeping up with industry trends.
Minpunten
The business is poorly run with few values that employees can cling to for direction. Micron as a whole undercuts its sharpest minds by requiring them to work extraordinary long hours with little praise and little hope of advancement. While a very diverse company, especially in R&D, it undercuts this with talk over the cubicle wall of the most right-wing ranting Idaho can produce, making its international employees feel less at home. The last few years stock price and productivity, where even in quarters where its competitors were making strategic advances and profits Micron continued to decline, show that it is mismanaged and requires new management to turn its profitability around before it cannot continue operations on credit.
