Pros

Good employee education program. As part of an acquisition, I was impressed by the trainer and the class on handling change. Individual employees at Microchip are very nice.

Cons

Also known as Microcheap. If you were offered a job, you accepted a pay cut which was supposedly made up for by their bonuses. You wouldn't know they had done more than 15 previous acquisitions. Processes for merger not well thought out. Why wait until we are about to be let go to ask us to pack boxes of records and provide instructions on where to get boxes, who to ship to, how to label?

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.
