Microchip continues to grow both in size and in profitability. The company is financially well run and stable. The product portfolio grows with each acquisition.
Cons
Technology-wise the company lags and is uninspiring. While dividends continue to grow, the compensation package has stagnated and is rapidly falling behind.
-Flat hierarchy for such a large company in 2008
-Paid back paycuts very soon after bottom of US recession
-Varied projects to work on
-50% engineering, 50% people-facing technical sales
-Competitive pay
-Co workers actually know what they're doing
Cons
-Located in San Jose, CA which is really boring
-I hear it's not such a great place to work anymore, much more political
