Great benefits, structural problems
Micron is a fast paced semiconductor manufacturer. they'll train you on your toolset, they'll give you great benefits, but they've got one major flaw.
They cant trust, or keep, good technicians.
Micron has fantastic work/life balance- we work 12s, but we get 4 days off one weekend, and 3 the next. most of us prefer this schedule to a regular 9-5. they have lots of great benefits like employee stock programs, great healthcare, and they offer 12 weeks of parental leave for both women AND men, so if you're thinking of having a kid in the next few years, you'll be hard pressed to match that. You get a crazy amount of paid time off on top of that- so much that people often have a hard time taking it all. You also get 100 minutes of break every day (only 30 minutes unpaid for lunch) The pay is less than other comparable semiconductor manufacturers, like intel, but that isn't their problem. Their problem is inherent with the organization and how upper-middle management works
you can be a fantastic employee, and you can suggest lots of solutions to large problems, but if its not something you can fix yourself, it won't get fixed anytime soon. They constantly ignore the existence of massive, department and fab-wide problems, and if you bring them up, you're suddenly the bad guy, and it doesn't matter because they don't want to address them. They want to put on a nice act for their bosses, and their customers. Further than that, you'll find that getting much needed help on tool pr

I've heard there are groups that are good to work in... I didn't see it.
The hardest part of the job is putting in the effort for people who respond with hints of moving your position overseas.
The most enjoyable part is seeing your product in the store.
After a few years, despite all the motivational talk, I realized the silo mentality is killing the company. The silo leads to managers more concerned with validating their existence than understanding what their employees do and how to make improvements. We routinely worked with other groups who had no clue we existed or why we were necessary to the process. Towards the end, I realized our own manager didn't understand our primary process or even the meaning of the acronym. (It's a bit like discovering your football coach doesn't know what a touchdown is.)
The old guard tells stories of working their way up from operator, bonuses, and employee patents, but that was before operations started moving overseas. They are too busy "cutting costs" to see it is bleeding the company.
It seems that the managers ignore the human factor of their employees. I.e. balancing authority with responsibility, maintaining employee morale, fatigue, work-life balance, career interests.
My group experienced 4 or 5 reorgs in 3 years. After 3 reorgs, we were back where they started. Each time, we were told our jobs wouldn't change. Mostly, the reorgs created chaos and allowed the transient managers to add to their resume.

Senior Manufacturing Engineer | Boise, ID | Jul 13, 2021
Awesome pay, good company, I'm only ok with my job.
Overall, Micron is a good company. They compensate well and have great benefits. US manufacturing operations continue to transfer overseas, which isn't great. If you are in a manufacturing supporting role, you can expect a lot of evening meetings and late nights. (This is also true for any role that needs to collaborate globally).
HR is pushing for a better work life balance, which many can work out. There often is flexibility in your schedule if you do have to work late. But to really advance in the company you can expect to work 50-60 hours regularly. So I don't think the culture really supports a healthy work life balance, especially if you have a family.
My direct management is pretty good. Coworkers are awesome! The company sometimes makes decisions that negativity impact employees, including occasional layoffs. I work often believing my department could be next, which is unsettling.
Work here is demanding and stressful with high expectations. But you learn a lot and gain a lot of experience if you work hard. Burn out can happen if you aren't careful. Benefits and retention bonuses are awesome, but make it difficult to consider leaving for other opportunities. My friend calls that the "Golden Handcuffs".
My job is OK. My role has changed over the past few years, and isn't as much of what it was when I applied for it. This is due to shifts in business needs, organization changes, and management changes. It no longer aligns with my career goals, but still giving me good ex
ProsBenefits, time off, paternal leave, pay, retention bonus
ConsHigh stress, poor daily work life balance, frequent organization and management changes
Nothing has been the same since Steve has been gone and the management is now horrible with the attitude that you are lucky to have a job and they have no clue about what is going on in the manufacturing areas.
96% of the production occurs in Asia, overseas training occurs during the night so you are expected to work your normal day hours and then be on call all night long. My typical work day is 6:00am till 6:00pm and then once you are home remote logging in until midnight or later at locations all over the world. Scheduled vacation time is not really vacation at all as you are asked to still login from wherever you are and keep machines running.
Expect long nights, no life, unrealistic deadlines, and all the managers taking credit for your hard work and long hours.
If you do something good then management is always there to take the credit for it. Be prepared for them to ask you to do things unethical and if something negative comes out of it they will play as they know nothing about it.
Micron used to be the best place in the world to work. Now it has gotten so big that you are now a number. Stock options are gone, bonuses are very small, and everyone has a very negative outlook about everything now days.
There are some good departments at Micron to work for, so if you are going to apply for a job at this company do your homework and find the good departments or else do not waste your time here. There is a reason Micron cannot recruit the top Engineers
ProsPay, benefits, and gym on campus. Great Operators, Technicians and Engineers.
A fantastic working environment, so much to learn, and so many ways to grow
The shift always starts with a "passdown" from the previous shift of issues, upcoming problems and efforts needed by the oncoming workers. Then there is emails and machine running statistics that need checked for trending problems. Pages notify of problems needing repaired as they occur, lists of machines that need preventative maintenance that week. Possible engineering experiments that need monitored. The 12 hour shifts actually stay busy most of the shift.
There were classes for further learning on site. Training on new machines from SME (Subject Matter Experts) and new repair procedures that need reviewed and checked for accuracy.
Management is involved and on task. Typically they are approachable and willing to be friendly with employees.
Co-Workers are capable, and from various backgrounds making them interesting to work with over the course of long shifts for half a week. Training is ongoing and constant so there is rarely issues with incapable workers.
Getting used to the shifts are difficult, but once used to no different than other work days, and the benefit becomes long weekends and longer vacation weeks for minimum time off. But the shifts are hard as they cause schedule shifts at home for the employee.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the people and the pay. Workers are interesting, capable and willing to work. The pay is competitive and attractive.
ProsOn site cafeteria, health center (gym, Dr Office).
ConsLong shifts.

Equipment Maintenance Technician | Boise, ID | Mar 19, 2014
Modern equipment and Excellent learning opprotunities
As it turned out, my time here was limited at this facility. I worked in the implant and CVD/PVD group. Repaired and assisted in the repair of several types of Equipment types of different manufacturers. Learned different types of equipment and had to learn different types of manufacturing processes to keep up with the effects on the equipment. This was an R&D fab and was very interesting and fun. Co-workers were fun to work with and engineering was very accommodating with cause and effect troubleshooting. This was the most enjoyable part of the job.
The hardest part of the job was attending all the meetings. I know they are necessary to report and give your own reports to the team members, but there were so many that some seemed redundant. The second rough part was a few management types seemed to forget this was an R&D fab, and were running in manufacturing mode, so when we were trying to figure out why equipment or processes were not working, they wanted the equipment cleaned and running. We needed the equipment and the processes running right, seeking quality not quantity. While limiting down time to make the part was important, knowing the reason for failures is more important. The trick was to figure out the correct balance to satisfy both goals....
ProsGreat benefits
Consrequired you to sacifice family time, all the time.
Enjoyed job where I could multitask, interface with team members and develop relationships.
A typical day at work included the ability to work without being micromanaged, multitask during critical and non-critical situations, research and analyze in decision making process and cbt trainings. I had the opportunity to learn the business process of a facilities and took classes at GMU toward a Facility Management Certificate.
Management's knowledge of Facilities and it's functionality far surpassed other areas of needed focus such as knowledge of some of the employee benefits, communicating with employees, building trust among team members and other members of management.
I truly enjoyed developing relationships with co-workers and the supervisory team, whom didn't mind going the extra mile to get projects completed or giving me the opportunity to assist them on a project.
The hardest part of the job would be lack of communication and knowledge on managements part of the full job responsibilities and not knowing how to promote me.
The most enjoyable part of the job would have to be the use of my customer service skills to get results, job completion, building trust and sound relationships.
ProsEmployee benefits, Rewards & Recognition program
ConsLack of sensitivity training, trust and communication
Micron was a growing company with many challenges and opportunities for advancement. As technicians there we were forced to think outside of the box and constantly pushing the envelope to develop or modify equipment to do things they weren't originally designed to do. The shift was 12 hours long with a 30 minute lunch break and the day started with a pass down from the outgoing shift to bring up to speed with what was going on. The supervisor then discussed the priorities and every one started working. When a piece of equipment was repaired it was put through a series of quality tests and the results were reviewed by a second technician. It it passed all of the test the part was bagged, tagged and placed in inventory. If it failed it was torn down to discover the reason it failed and reworked. For me the toughest part of the job was getting adjusted to night shift because we rotated shifts every four months. The first week of shift change was particularly challenging because of the change in sleep habits.The best part of the job was the feeling of satisfaction you got when you repaired a subassembly and it went into the production area and did not come out until it was pulled because of regularly scheduled maintenance.

12. Maintaining good housekeeping in the productio
A typical day in Micron,Singapore mostly starts with looking at the data or yield percentage or deviation in line. Experience might vary from one engineer to another. Some engineers requires to work in line,while others need to concentrate in data mining and data optimization.
There are several meetings through out the day. Some of the meeting are important and informative,while some are redundant.
Managers are prompt in addressing an issue and acting on it immediately.Top management puts a lot of pressure on the directors/managers and engineers to fulfill the target by/before the target date.
Most managers and directors do not believe in the term 'work-life balance'. Engineers are expected to bring back their laptops home and work from home on weekends .
Micron provides many on job training,but the quality of the training completely depends on the trainer.
Since there is a lot of pressure from day to day,the learning curve is extremely steep. The job requires an engineer to align with cross functional team, to analyze data, to collaboration with team mates , technicians and operators, to understand minute details about processes and tools etc. So however the pressure is, at the end of the day the pay is very good and there are many opportunities to learn and rise up the ladder.
