Dislikes

No Job Stability (Constant fear of layoffs, and salary cuts) No Work-Life Balance with constant and consistent late night meetings. Executive management don't want to build employee-centric company, want a Investor centric startup culture. Constant suspensions of hikes, bonuses, rewards, health benefits etc. Pathetic IT Equipments and IT Service, definitely require laptop changes every 6 months. Irresponsible, Unprofessional and Un-empathetic HR processes and team members. Most projects in India don't have future growth, or guideline. They didn't need to open India Operations, they followed the fad of opening Tech Center in India now they regret it. It's was a well established mature company with a veteran new CEO, but now the veteran has lost control to Investors and is now fostering a startup culture where you don't have work-life balance. Due to the future expansion Micron Financials are affected. So instead of Investors compromising, Micron made employees compromise forcefully with salary hike cuts, bonus suspension, rewards suspensions, and now finally job cuts. (They are trying to blindly follow Twitter under Elon, let's see how it plays out)

Worse incompetent managers, thrown by other companies and picked by micron. Senior management does not care about anyone. No skill assessment, they will interview on coding skills and won't give you any dev. Projects at all. If you have some work from homes they will make sure you can't take them. Disrespectful behaviour if you work with Singapore team and manager won't help you, they will scold you instead and ask you to keep working.
