Pros

Microchip generally treated the employees better than other companies I worked for. For example, during Covid, they did not reduce headcount. They reduced salaries temporarily, and when business picked back up, everyone was comp'ed for the salary they lost during the slowdown.

Cons

The company struggles with new technology innovation. Management seems more concerned about "milking" (their word) IP than generating new IP.

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.
