Good and Bad - Machine Operator Microchip Technology Employee Review

Pros

Regular bonuses and easy to engage management.

Cons

They hired far too many temps last year and converted them immediately. Their solution, since they are too cheap to pay severance for layoffs is to put all the production operators on rotating mandatory furloughs. After the first round everyone was out of pto, so as they continue the employees have to take no work, no pay which nobody can afford, or go on unemployment. They do this so people will quit but that will take a long time. They have no idea how long this will take and a year looks like the best guess. Many slugs that do nothing will be there forever while the experienced people will eventually say to hell with it and move on. It is a bad practice and they will their best. They don't seem to care as long as it saves them a few bucks.

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.
