Microchip Technology reviews

- opportunities and rewards for strong performers - Company culture is real; for the most part - management walks the talk - promotes from within whenever possible - growth through acquisition has been strategic. The recent Atmel acquisition has been the biggest gamble, but will undoubtedly prove to be greatly beneficial to Microchip. - Our CEO has quarterly "communication meetings" with the entire company. The U.S. flag is always displayed prominently behind the podium (Yes - I consider this a "pro").

A strong culture of team work, of looking out for each other, from the CEO to the New College Grad and the Intern. An unwavering belief that culture makes THE difference - borne out by the incredible success and growth of the company over 25+ years. When the downturn hit in 2009/10, 'Management' didn't lay people off & shutter plant, knowing the downturn would pass soon enough, and everybody would be needed more than ever before. This was a decision that Wall Street really didn't like - every other competitor of ours did the Wall St thing... Well, you only have to look at how we bounced back, workforce intact, and loyal too... and compare that with the competition, some of whom never really bounced back at all... I like coming to work - there are just really nice people here - we have fun, and we get the job done too. There are opportunities here that sometimes don't exist until you create them - and the Company encourages this! The role I am in, and the team I have, didn't exist before me - I had the chance to create the role and the team - this is not that rare at Microchip! The benefits are a real pull - the culture is fantastic & great benefits are the icing on the cake! Medical, legal, 401K - you name it - help with personal study, and the chance to give something back to the wider community whilst developing yourself too... Before MCHP I moved on every 2 years or so - I would get bored and be unable to contribute at the next level where I was. After 8 years at Microchip I am yet to get even remotely bored, by the job or the people. And this isn't a place that expects & demands you to work lots of extra hours, and to do so for nothing - it is a very rare quarter in deed where there isn't a full bonus paid to everybody - not just the sales people or managers, as in many other organisations.
