Productive and challenging place to work. Excellent staff!!
PROBE PRODUCTION SUPERVISOR (Former Employee) – Manassas, VA 20109 – September 24, 2013
Micron has a very good overall compensation package. The greatest part of working at MICRON was the people and the challenging work. The compressed workweek allows for 4 days off a week to spend time with your family.
Pros
2 bonuses a year, compressed workweek results in 3 and 4 day weekends.
Cons
12 hour shifts
Interesting place to work!
Corporate Strategic Planning (Former Employee) – Folsom, CA – August 21, 2018
Landed at Micron after from an acquisition. Integration was slow and current employees were not very welcoming. Communication styles were very different. Overall was an OK experience.
Fast paced and great pay
Equipment Technician (Current Employee) – Manassas, VA – August 18, 2018
Micron is a great place to work. It is fast paced and very hands on. You get to work with some of the brightest individuals around. The pay is good, and benefits are great. Having 3-4 day work weeks is a plus.
Pros
3 to 4 days a week
Micron, in Boise, is a shadow of what it once was
Equipment Support Maintenance Technician (Former Employee) – Boise, ID – August 17, 2018
When I started at Micron in 1997, that was the place to be. It was fast paced and busy, with good pay and benefits. I'm sure the shareholders are making good money now but it's no longer a good place for employment unless that's all you can get. There is the constant fear of another layoff consistently looming over your head.
Pros
Good pay and benefits
Cons
Still has a log of "good ole boys" from the previous century, No room for advancement for lower level employees, Constant fear of layoffs.
Micron life
Metrology Technician (Current Employee) – Boise, ID – August 16, 2018
Micron is a good company for the area. They pay well and have a good paid time off program. They have good management in most areas and work with personal schedules well. They pay for going back to college if industry related and you maintain a passing grade of C or better. All in a not a bad company to work for but limited growth if you don't have a BS degree.
Pros
Good paid time off
Cons
health insurance does not cover a lot of things other companies do, Most job advancements need a BS degree.
Good place to work with decent benefits.
TECHNICIAN/LEAD (Former Employee) – Boise, ID – July 31, 2018
Fun workplace with good people. Too much training of non job related subjects and not enough training of work related tasks. Lots of paid vacation with average benefits.
Good and Bad
Data Engineer (Current Employee) – Boise, ID – July 24, 2018
Some of the Best Managers and some of the WORST.
In general, not a bad place to work, but there is a LOT of stress in some groups and some really poor managers.
They are trying to improve, but still having issues.

Top heavy management
Lead Engineer, Fab (Former Employee) – Boise, ID – July 23, 2018
It's impossible to cover a typical day based on the wide variety of jobs. It's possible to learn a great deal at Micron, but it's not always easy as time is closely monitored.
Management is extremely stratified there. When a manager causes profound damage to an area, they are shuffled around. This causes a plethora of moves as people try to avoid working under the worst managers. It’s a very unpleasant place to work if you get under on of the managers who starts every conversation with, “Well back in Fab 1 we…”
There are good managers, but they are scarce and someone above is always looking to move a friend into that position who needs a fresh job.

ASSEMBLER (Former Employee) – Boise, ID – July 16, 2018
The job was a little changing but very rewarding, it definitely has everyday applications to it and teaches you useful skills. the shifts are perfect in my opinion 12 hours 3 days on 4 off flips every week to 4 days on 3 off. I enjoyed and wish I would have been able to stay.

Product Engineering Manager (Current Employee) – Boise, ID – July 8, 2018
Plenty of opportunities to prove yourself and work on cutting edge technology. Some groups are more demanding than others. Due to the nature of this worldwide company, many meetings outside of typical work hours.
Pros
Good compensation for the cost of living.
Cons
Lots of meetings and many can be outside of typical work hours.
Laid back work environment
Fiber Tech/ Forklift Operator, Shipping Clerk (Former Employee) – DeBary, FL – July 7, 2018
During a typical day, you are given what you need to complete and are on your way. You are given 2 breaks, 1 before lunch and 1 after. The day typically goes by quickly, as you are occupied by work. Not too much down time.
