Microchip Technology Engineer reviews

Openly acknowledged sub-par market-indexed salaries in addition to below average benefits, plus expected pay sacrifices in down cycles in exchange for stability. This can lead to flat or negative salary adjustments for years. Stock incentives are withheld for years while you sacrifice your below market income. Everything about the company screams cheap, penny consciousness. Raises are miniscule. Advancement oppty is scant. Resources and productivity are hobbled by tight budgeting. Work flexibility is compromised by thinly veiled corporate oversight - essentially spying on foot traffic, if not also web traffic. Corporate messaging about employee value falls flat in the face of real actions or lack of. There might not be layoffs (or there might), but you will pay for it, and be given a multitude of reasons to leave voluntarily.

Company use to pride themselves on culture and how employees came first. Now they are checking everyone’s badge in and out from the security gates (even salary although we are suppose to have flexibility in our schedules) and micromanaging everything even dress code. If this standard was in place when everyone started it would be one thing but to rave about how much your employees mean to you and how flexible and great it is to work here when they are actively trying to micromanage people makes no sense. Also everyone is severely under paid and any other company would be paying us at least 50% more.
