(Not a) Great Place to Work - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Micron Technology

Supposed innovative company introduces antiquated performance management process midway through the year. Performance is judged by politics and many good people are driven out while very poor or mediocre people remain and advance. Upper level managers are either new and Sanjay clones (Mircon's idea of diversity is to hire Sanjay clones from "top tier universities") or old school Micron employees who have never worked anywhere else and lack perspective. As a result, management either knows too much (hubris) or not nearly enough. The culture is one of "do what I say not what I do" as they talk about valuing people and engagement and then sabotage all efforts with poor decision-making. In the last two months the end of year reviews were a kick in the mouth, followed by a request to "kindly use all your vacation now." Most people are unhappy and working for incompetent managers, but no one will say anything because it's a fear-based culture and there aren't many professional employment opportunities in Boise.
