Working at Micron Technology in Boise, ID: 53 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Boise, ID Area

"I've worked for Micron for 10 years. At times it has been a good experience. However there is certainly a "good ole boy" network there. It is nearly impossible to move up or have any effect on your earning potential unless you play politics.

There's a lot to be gained by taking care of the people who actually do the work."
