Work is very important for sure! But in the end we should not forget we are humans, and too much work will burn you out. Actually, an excess of anything is not healthy in our lives (think about too much sport, too much eating, too much sleep etc.), and we need balance in our lives. I firmly believe that working SMART will bring way more benefits than just work HARD, especially in our industry. In fact engineers do not chose the semiconductor industry for the ease, but at Micron I am able to achieve what I could not in my previous company: work effectively AND a balanced life.

What do you like about your job and the company?

In Micron we have a GREAT teamwork in every department, especially when we are facing problems. I think my team is especially good when it comes to teamwork, and I love collaborating with my team members! Another awesome thing we do is going on team bonding activities, to get closer to each other, which is not something you get for granted in every company.

Greatest achievements

The project I am in charge of is an x-ray inspection tool with automation, and my team and I were able to achieve the successful criterias to implement this tool in only 1,5 years. If you work in this industry you know how long this kind of things take. For me this was definitely the greatest achievement!

Recruiter

Top Insider Advice

When evaluating the competence of a talent with a certain role, generally the recruiter and the hiring managers wouldn't aim at a talent scores 9-10 out of 10, instead, a talent scores 6-8 would also be considered combining with other qualifications, among which the most valued one is the talent's actual actions of learning and self-improvement. The capability of taking actions set a challenging barrier for talents who only thinks and those not only thinks but also acts. In the daily work and life, the capability of hands on actions are also super important for people to achieve career and life goals. Taking action is the spirit that Micron has always been held and carried out. Micron does not just talk about the DEI, Sustainability, People, Customer first, Innovation, we actually devote huge resources in the realizing of all these concepts. Taking actions now!
