Without being too specific, since I am still working there. It’s a non manufacturing/facility role. Like in my role I do not have to enter the fab. it’s not a shift job. I still work at the woodlands plant where the wafers are manufacturered.

To me, culture is the most important consideration so will mostly talk about that. Micron has a very individualistic kind of culture. It is good if you are someone who doesn't want to make friends, don't want to bother with who is who, and mind your own business. You and your computer = happy life. But if you are someone who is outgoing, this place is not for you. People sitting opp to you will team msg you instead of getting up to speak directly. They would bring lunch up and eat it while watching videos instead of sitting with someone.

As a huge company, I feel it is very well managed with established processes that are very efficient. For some this is great, but for others, this might make things boring.

Jobs are responsibility based, you can do whatever you want as long as you deliver. OT is necessary (8am to 8pm is a normal day) due to workload but you are compensated with the max now $7500. Note: People in my team often exceed the cap. They really need more people no joke. Attrition is very high, majority of people only stay put because they want money (perhaps wanna pay back home/car loan asap).

Your first promotion is in 1 year's time and the increment is expected to be less than $500. Variable bonus = 1.3 months * your performance multiplier * company performance multiplier (this is trash for some, but the overall package for engineering is good definitely above avg)

Some benefits that you might not know about:

1. in house GYM
2. $5 subsidy for lunch every day (it's more than enough if you don't take a drink) food is no bad
3. they are not so specific about the work time, you can be a bit late.
4. one WFH day a week.


This is just from 1 mth of being inside and might not be the complete picture, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Thanks for the insights! Quite detailed review on the work culture.

I will soon join Micron as well, specifically in the R&D.

Jeez. Sounds very similar to my old workplace. Manufacturing company as well. Everyone is very individualistic. Go out and eat lunch also like talk about work only. Very little local though (in my dept). Stayed there 2 months and left. Felt like going home when i reached office everyday and that's only during the first month.
