Not as good as before
Great knowledge development from many years. Stocks that can be accumulated from long years of service. Food benefit of $2.5 every day. Stable job.
I did not think Micron will have cons, but comparing to Infineon and Globalfoundaries, which are also in downturn and doing badly, Micron has developed many cons in the last 2 years:
- Salary is VERY low compared to the market.
- Micron prefers fresh hires and does not adjust salary compared to youngsters or fresh hires. This pay revision cycle, I got a 3% raise compared to my junior, who got a 9% raise. Both of us had no promotion and both of us had a high rating of 4. So you can see a clear differentiation.
- No OT allowed to enter, even if you work extra hours. No time-off and no compensation of any kind.
- No Micron points (Bravo) anymore. So if you collaborate with other teams, the maximum you will get is a stupid email of appreciation. No spot bonus also.
- Biggest issue of all: no FAIR promotion. The people who get promoted are those who have HIGH visibility and those who impress bosses. Cliche roles, such as automation, that do not see immediate gains will be ignored.
Work on the promotion criteria alignment for Micron Singapore across all teams, and really think of compensating your experienced employees well without differentiating between people based on age or experience.

Good and smooth process. Very difficult questions, but the interviewers made time to enable you to understand. It was a Zoom invite, so I'm not sure if in-person will be different.
