Micron Technology remains boldly committed to DEI (Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion) efforts through hiring underrepresented groups, ensuring pay equity for all staff, engaging with diverse financial institutions, and increasing the diversity of their suppliers. Because this is such a focused effort of the organization, your interviewer wants to hear that you are committed to DEI in the workplace and will continue to be if you join their team.

Prior to your interview, be sure to spend some time on the Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion page on the Micron Technology website and pay close attention to the five commitments they have made to mark their roadmap to DEI success. Reiterate your commitment to diversity efforts by discussing diverse teams you have been a part of in the past and discuss how those teams made you a better person. Then talk about your feelings for Micron's commitments and how you will be able to help live those out each and every day on the job.

"I fully support diversity and inclusion in the workplace and believe that there are incredible benefits to a workplace built on equality like you have here at Micron Technology. First and foremost, equality and inclusion should always be considered fundamental human rights. When it comes to the benefits of embracing diversity and inclusion in this role, I can play an important part in employee happiness, help to boost employee tenure, and increase productivity. I love the fact that Micron not only looks to commit within their walls but also prioritizes it for the vendors you select and the financial institutions you utilize."

"A diverse and inclusive work environment really helps bring out the biggest potential in a company and the best in each individual on the team. Over the course of my career, I feel fortunate that I have been a part of both very diverse teams and teams that were similar. I can without a doubt say that the diverse teams were full of passion, new ideas, and had differing perspectives on every task and project I was a part of and I'm looking forward to joining that environment here at Micron Technology. To further that, your commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion in your five commitments shows me that you take this seriously and would be something I would be proud to be a part of."
