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.

Pros

The coworkers are great people and pleasant to be around. Microchips biggest strength is it does an amazing job hiring pleasant people. Work life balance can be great but differs greatly between teams/departments. Some of the managers are amazing leaders and want you to succeed.

Cons

CHEAP! So cheap. Get you to go above and beyond for years while teasing a promotion and then they never deliver. Give other people raises first because they’ve been employed there longer or are on higher visibility projects. Get screwed by politics. Save your time and work for a different company because an offer here will be a dead end. Plus Microchip pay is the worst in the industry. The running joke from within the company is when Steve Sanghi the CEO opens his wallet there are spiderwebs and moths fly out. How sad is that. If you work here long term getting underpaid for decades you will miss out on building so much wealth. Oh and don’t even look up Steve Sanghis compensation package because it will just make you mad when getting turned down for a promotion yet again because it’s not in the budget. Stopped giving yearly raises during the worst inflation period. There was a big wave of promotions for VPs/C suite while my base salary is exactly the same as it was 3 years ago.
