Pros

So called "stable", it depends.

Cons

Pay is way below the market average, benefits are horrible such as 401k, medical, etc. Principal engineer title is just nothing since the salary is not competitive at all. No salary increase even when business is making record. Treat its employee too bad. Microchip is not a leading technology company at all, even not a follower.

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.
