Pros
Company has a very laid-back feel, but there is also lots of activity to accomplish tasks on hand. Not a lot of rules that stifle innovation, prohibit employees from taking ownership or helping one another. I think the most compelling reason to consider Microchip is the culture and people, not to mention they have a great business model. People are treated with respect and dignity. They are careful in their hiring and as a result they're able to maintain a culture where people help each other. It's not a competition between employees, but rather a competition to help each other produce the best-in-class products. Also this is the FIRST tech company I've ever heard of that truly models it's company Values. It's amazing!! What also makes it's a great place his how they conduct business. They don't overspend or over-hire. As a result, when the market hits a bumpy cycle they are in a strong position to keep all their employees and ride out the storm. That's a testament to the company’s leadership and strategy for success.
Cons
I struggled with this one, but if I had to say something…… some of the technology can be a little dated. But I think this is also a plus to maintain fiscal restraint.
