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.

Great company to transition into, or for a new collage grad.

Pros
It's a growing company with lots of opportunities. The senior management team is world class. The company is tightly run and the company resources are wisely allocated for growth. You can see the company financials over the last 5, 10 or 15 years. It is a safe and secure company to work for. And also transfers within the company is encouraged.
Cons
Microchip is sometimes misspelled as Microcheap... but for good reason, when it comes to employee compensation (base salary), or even capital investment. Make do with what you have mentality is sort of the norm. The idea is to force resourcefulness. Obviously that can backfire sometimes, but clearly senior management has decided that they rather deal with the consequences. Google the company financials... research and development expense is about 20% of revenue, some of the lowest in the industry. This is great for the investors but don't expect your salary to grow much...
