Pros

People can join who want to waste time and do time pass. Because here performer are not rewarded. One need to be technical to evaluate the good work done by the employee. How can they praise something they don't understand. Only people with experience in the company are promoted. Great work life balance. Because nobody care if you work or not.

Cons

- It all politics. - No salary hike: They will play tactics to delay your salary hike by months and effectively 1 hike in 2 years. - No Employee roles and responsibilities document maintained. And if it exist they will everything in there power to not share it, even to managers. Because one can ask for promotion and hike - After certain level the technical knowledge ends. They are purely into politics and blame game. Sadly these people decide your promotion - All about ball game: The main objective of teams (design, SQA, APPs, SW and etc) is to skip doing work by passing the ball here and there - Majority of people are not at all bothered about project. They just want to impress there manger to get hike - Their actual objectives: 1. Employee is not our greatness strength. We do not care about them 2. Communication within team is not required 3. Make something working. What does quality has to do with it

Pros

The coworkers are great people and pleasant to be around. Microchips biggest strength is it does an amazing job hiring pleasant people. Work life balance can be great but differs greatly between teams/departments. Some of the managers are amazing leaders and want you to succeed.

Cons

CHEAP! So cheap. Get you to go above and beyond for years while teasing a promotion and then they never deliver. Give other people raises first because they’ve been employed there longer or are on higher visibility projects. Get screwed by politics. Save your time and work for a different company because an offer here will be a dead end. Plus Microchip pay is the worst in the industry. The running joke from within the company is when Steve Sanghi the CEO opens his wallet there are spiderwebs and moths fly out. How sad is that. If you work here long term getting underpaid for decades you will miss out on building so much wealth. Oh and don’t even look up Steve Sanghis compensation package because it will just make you mad when getting turned down for a promotion yet again because it’s not in the budget. Stopped giving yearly raises during the worst inflation period. There was a big wave of promotions for VPs/C suite while my base salary is exactly the same as it was 3 years ago.
