Avantages
Well it is one of the world's leading semiconductor companies. It has worldwide presence from continent to continent and it has a lot of cutting edge Fab work going on. The 300mm fabs in Virginia (MTV) are really great and it's great experience to have some work on them. Also as a leader in advanced semiconductor solutions like CMOS image sensors it is nice to be at the forefront of technology when it happens. Also they have some of the smartest engineers working in the R&D facility.
Inconvénients
Well the senior leadership is useless. They have botched every opportunity they have got to get ahead in the industry. One of the major downsides to working at Micron is that it is such a large company and projects take a lifetime to get through the pipeline and for us Engineers to actually do some work on new stuff. There is too much bureaucracy. Another thing is that there are too many things going on at one time for a manager to keep track of every project. And when some project gets over, turns out we never really needed to do that project as some one else throughout the company in some little cubicle was already using that utility for his team. The IT teams are spread too thin and each one is doing their own thing. Another thing that is a downside is Micron is a semiconductor business. The semiconductor industry is a cyclical industry in that every couple of years, there is a downturn in the whole industry which hurts profits and there are layoffs.
