Pros

Coworkers at Microchip tend to be very friendly. Emphasis on the job getting done, not the hours spent doing it. Relaxed environment for new grads and to be retirees.

Cons

Base pay is well below industry standards, and will never improve. Vacation is forced before end of year, and forced during holiday season. Paycuts are normal, but so is acquiring companies with their employees money. Promotes based on time and not based on merit. Hard workers are desensitized to try their best.

Pros

There are a handful of people here who are fantastic to work with, are very knowledgeable, and care about the product that's going out the door.

Cons

Leadership is fundamentally out of touch and appears indifferent to employee well-being. The culture is marred by nepotism and a lack of accountability, where 'guiding values' are preached but never practiced. Feedback is discouraged, and those who speak up are often targeted. Expect a 'reward' of more work for the same pay, as promotions are rare and promised bonuses are frequently withheld despite strong site performance. A very frustrating and toxic environment for those who value merit and transparency.
