Microchip Technology reviews

Pay is lacking, new employees get treated as scapegoats by older employees leading to them walking out/quitting (been there 3 months and every week a new person quits or walks out). Negative attitude atmosphere. 50. cent raise every 3 years. Long days off but you sleep them away for the most part leading to essentially the same as a non-compressed shift. days you work you literally sleep then go to work- not much wind down time after work. Wearing a hot and itchy smock for 10 hours. Supervisors want you to find your own work coverage even 3 months in advance.

Microchip really lives up to their Microcheap name. They underpay their employees if you compare the salaries to the nearest competitors. They don't spend much on their employees when it comes to training/improvement, or even to physical things like top-of-the-line PC's and accessories to work with. Lack of room for growth, as well as a lack of cool projects due to Microchip being a second-to-market type company. R&D spending is at a minimum, so you usually work on devices that already exist in the market (Microchip just tries to make their own version). Many times, things move so slowly, that by the time these products are released, they're outdated. On many occasions, I noticed that even if things are done inefficiently or ineffectively, they're very difficult to change. People/departments are not responsive to feedback, and even if they are, things progress quite slowly.
