Pros

Decent benefits, possiblity of year end bonus, gym membership. If you are hourly, you can earn a lot in overtime.

Cons

Micron as a whole is reactionary rather than proactive which makes for frequent changes that are difficult to recover from. it preaches work life balance but the unspoken expectation is to work overtime to cover staffing issues. The company also preaches diversity and inclusion engagement in the employee resource groups but don't provide time for and punish participation "to meet business needs." The Manassas, VA location has the most toxic culture of all sites. It's a unique pressure cooker of stress that does not exist in other sites. The employees throw each other under the bus to cover their mistakes, don't recognize hard work, are two-faced, don't have accountability, and overall are miserable from being over-worked. Managemet is so far removed from the Fabrication process that the expectations and attitudes are unforgiving. Promotions are only given to yes-men rather than those qualified for the position. Perception is more important than achievements. The pattern at Fab 6 is to push more responsibilities onto existing team members rather than backfill open positions. The extra effort is rarely rewarded and regonized. Currently, Fab 6 is in the middle of an expansion which has been bungled from the start. Rather than extending the parking lot or make a garage, make shift parking was made after construction started and more people were on sight. The added parking is dangerous which is made worse by driving behaviors. From talking to current and former employees, the overall sentimnet is they stay for the paycheck only.

Pros

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).

Cons

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.
