Pros

Fantastic headquarter upper management, blows Atmel upper management out of the water. Management at Co Springs factory is old Atmel management and doesn't quite compare to the quality of Microchip management but this continues to improve. 401k, 401k match, stock bonus, quarterly bonus, stock purchase plan, educational benefits, employee funded insurance benefits

Cons

often feel pigionholed to 1-5 pieces of equipement. cutthroat compettionion still exisits. you can be shown 100 times how to do something but will never be handed the reins to take the task on yourself. breaking out of department and growing career is difficult but possible. there are "cliques" that hold people in positions while advancing others.

Thanks for the review! It’s good to hear that you think Microchip is a great place to work over all and…. that you think Microchip’s upper management is fantastic. Having joined us from a recent acquisition, you are in a good position to see the differences between our culture and your prior employer’s. Microchip’s culture is grounded in our Guiding Values. We know that our employees are our greatest strength, that communication is vital and that continuous improvement is essential. “Cut throat competition” is not how we operate. Rather we see ourselves as one team working together for the success of the overall organization. We place a great deal of importance on employee development and we want to see you excel in your position. We encourage you to take charge of your own development and work with our employee development team and your manager to further your own success. Glad you joined the Microchip team!

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.
