Pros

easy job to learn, 3/4 day weekend. Will hire you with no experience

Cons

Very Low pay. People are leaving left and right for other companies in the area that pay $5-10 more per hour. Management's response is to tell employees that they should work here for the "Culture" not the money. Pay probably won't increase until Minimum Wage does.

Pros

Pretty easy for your sunset years as an engineer. You aren’t expected to deliver much and there is little to no management accountability for deadlines. I guess you would call it good “work/life balance”. Definitely the least stress I’ve ever had in any company of similar size.

Cons

Engineering management really has no clue what they’re doing. Steve knows the market great and the fabs run flawlessly so production is nailed down. Microchip would shine if they gutted the middle and hired real tough-nut managers with agile experience. Microchip definitely would have to pay a lot better though. R&D productivity is probably at 30% if that. Companies should have zero tolerance for managers that suppress calls for continuous improvement and value their own personal ego over the customer.

Pros

High level of empowerment; Management fosters an 'owner' mentality amongst the workforce through stock plans and culture.

Cons

Can run a bit too lean in some support areas, so getting support on a project that is not currently hot can take longer than one would wish.
