Pros
- You work for MCHP, you are a part of the family. When business is down, everyone chips-in to make sure no one needs to be fired and when business is up, everyone enjoys the bonus. - Job security and very good work-life balance - Good predictable work culture; managers are created from within MCHP and never hired from outside - Dependable benefits package but nothing fancy, very helpful clinic at Chandler/Tempe office - Wise management and executive teams that have a good pulse on the semiconductor industry - Good place to work if you plan to stick around and build your career
Cons
- Not a good place if earning more $ is your first priority. The semiconductor industry growth has topped off. If your priority is earning more $, then you'll have to accept the risks and jump on to a relatively new industry where there is enough growth. - Very average canteen; not open at all times of the work day ... no free coffee either! - Depending on the team that you work for and your direct manager, external motivation can be hard to come by. There are many exceptions to this as well. - Employees with 7~10+ years of service rarely quit; hence, it can be a tag tough to move up the ladder into the management team
