      Pros

      Microchip treats it's employees like a family. Through the good times, they share in the prosperity, and in the downturns we all band together to help each other out. We all take shared sacrifices, which helps everyone. The people, from individual contributors, support staff, straight to the executive leadership operate with the guiding values in mind. I feel privledged to be part of such a fantastic organization.

      Cons

      The base salaries are a little lower than market in some areas, however, with the total comp philosophy (variable + base) makes the compensation package competitive. This approach which motivates everyone to contribute and share in the company's success.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - opportunities and rewards for strong performers - Company culture is real; for the most part - management walks the talk - promotes from within whenever possible - growth through acquisition has been strategic. The recent Atmel acquisition has been the biggest gamble, but will undoubtedly prove to be greatly beneficial to Microchip. - Our CEO has quarterly "communication meetings" with the entire company. The U.S. flag is always displayed prominently behind the podium (Yes - I consider this a "pro").

      Cons

      - 401K match is truly appalling. Guaranteed at 25% of the first 4% of employee contributions, with an additional discretionary 25% granted quarterly depending on financial results. So the match is basically 25 cents to 50 cents on your dollar. - Microchip's not a Si Valley boomer - - but neither is intel: a sabbatical leave should be considered for long term employees. God knows it would benefit both me AND Microchip if I was able to get some extended time off. - My understanding (by talking directly with others and "through the grapevine") is that compensation has been stagnant for higher paid employees for a few years now.
