Pros

Being your in constant motion and on your feet this is a great way to lose weight. Normally your not carrying more than 2 pounds at a time. The job is pretty easy but requires focus as mistakes must be far and few. Good benefits (401k, Health benefits, etc) Job normally does not become boring as the better you do you are certified in other job facets. Normally there isnt a slow day you are kept busy. Schedules are available for nights and weekends. Nights pay a 18% bonus which makes a heck of a difference. OT is provided constantly sometimes with double time pay for the whole shift. They do cover 5k for college as long as it has to do with current occupation

Cons

The pay for the pain of standing and constantly moving could be better. Being there are a number of older people you really must deal with people telling you how to do things. I would primarily focus on what your trainer has taught you. At times being a lot of people are over 50 they sometimes have a temper. Younger crowds are here but they tend to quit very quickly.

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.
