Pros

This company is like family. People are encouraged to communicate openly and rewards are good when times are good and everyone pulls together to sacrifice and make it through the difficult business times. Layoffs are avoided if at all possible. There are numerous training opportunities and everyone who faces customers are trained extensively and practice a winning methodology. Bonuses are not commissions but rather are based on the company goals being met. Stock has been a good performer and a decent dividend payment and a 25+ year history of profitability.

Cons

The salaries may not be as high as some. But some rewards are more than just money. If you want a high salary this may not be the job for you. But if you want a rewarding company culture, this is your place. If you are allergic to change and close teamwork, you won't like it here.

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.
