Pros

Stable work with min standards benefits- 401K is based on how well the company does and have to work there 5 yrs to receive the full amount. 50% if lucky. I get $1 for $1 now and no cost health insurance for my family after leaving them. There are better jobs out there. They meeting says all the millons they are making and when I comes to review they have nothing for hard workers to give. The workers there are decent to each other except a few from engineering.

Cons

When managed by Microsemi - It was managed badly. Stock with Microchip dropped sharply. This culture is the "lucky you have a job" culture and if you are not in Engineering you get treated like second class citizens Don't expect raises, career opportunities or a decent company party anytime soon. People are leaving just like me. I would look elsewhere. Contractors take a very long time to get hired on.

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.
