Transitioning from Atmel to Microchip - Anonymous Microchip Technology Employee Review

Pros

The employee base is relatively solid (i.e. volumes of talent in many areas). It is hoped that as Microchip evaluates their new purchase that they see the value in the existing employee base, Atmel products, and processes. Yes, there is always room for improvement, but we have an excellent basis for future growth and expansion.

Cons

Glad to leave the poor executive management system previously under Atmel. The executive staff was only concerned with lining their pockets. Although volumes of words were spoken in support of the employee base, the executive staff was not concerned with keeping and maintaining a fully functional business.

Pros

There are a handful of people here who are fantastic to work with, are very knowledgeable, and care about the product that's going out the door.

Cons

Leadership is fundamentally out of touch and appears indifferent to employee well-being. The culture is marred by nepotism and a lack of accountability, where 'guiding values' are preached but never practiced. Feedback is discouraged, and those who speak up are often targeted. Expect a 'reward' of more work for the same pay, as promotions are rare and promised bonuses are frequently withheld despite strong site performance. A very frustrating and toxic environment for those who value merit and transparency.
