Pluspunten

The starting salary is not bad, especially in a bad economy where so many people can't get a job at all.

Minpunten

Boring to the extreme. 12 hour night shifts are hard. Those people who play politics the best win, while those who perform yet lack in the political arena will not get ahead. But get ahead to what? I see nothing around me that makes me interested in going to do that thing. I have been attempting to escape from Micron for a number of years but the job market is tough and I apparently have no/few marketable engineering skills with which to sell myself to an prospective employer. This place makes me wish I had never gone to college. I could have done so much more with my engineering career had I not gotten sucked in by the starting salary of this dead end career. Actually just a job, not a career as I define the word. And I forgot to mention the micromanagement thing which is prevalent at least in the group I am in. I have learned to just smile, as best I can, and say "yes boss". Strong, opinionated, mission focused persons need not apply. Yes men will be rewarded.

Pluspunten

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).

Minpunten

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.
