Pros

I've been working with Microchip Technology Inc. for more than 10 years now and I can say that the Microchip Technology Inc. is one of the best company to work with. Reasons are, culture, family oriented, colleagues are great and Microchip Technology Inc. gave importance to its employees.

Cons

I don't have anything to share about the 'CONS' of the company because for me, it is one of the best.

Thank you for your review and your 10+ years of service to our Company. We are happy to see that you "recommend" Microchip, see it as having a "positive outlook" and "approve of our CEO." We also appreciate your comments on what you see as pros about working at Microchip. We are committed to creating a work environment that produces high job satisfaction and we monitor our progress toward achieving that on an annual basis, along with monitoring how employees feel about communication, teamwork, etc. We strive for continuous improvement all the time. Our comp structure has been mentioned in other reviews as being “not the best” in the industry. However, we do measure our comp structure against regional markets by participating in salary surveys to ensure we are competitive. Beyond that we have a total compensation structure that consists of a base, bonus and stock. The base is in line with market data, the bonuses are paid quarterly (achieving record payouts) and we are very proud to have achieved our 106 quarter of profitability. Our Equity programs are among the best in the industry with both Restricted Stock Units and Employee Stock Purchase Programs offered to employees. Our stock price has had outstanding results over the last 15 months which in turn adds to our employee’s total comp payout. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity that you have given us to provide greater insights into these Microchip programs.

Pros

Being your in constant motion and on your feet this is a great way to lose weight. Normally your not carrying more than 2 pounds at a time. The job is pretty easy but requires focus as mistakes must be far and few. Good benefits (401k, Health benefits, etc) Job normally does not become boring as the better you do you are certified in other job facets. Normally there isnt a slow day you are kept busy. Schedules are available for nights and weekends. Nights pay a 18% bonus which makes a heck of a difference. OT is provided constantly sometimes with double time pay for the whole shift. They do cover 5k for college as long as it has to do with current occupation

Cons

The pay for the pain of standing and constantly moving could be better. Being there are a number of older people you really must deal with people telling you how to do things. I would primarily focus on what your trainer has taught you. At times being a lot of people are over 50 they sometimes have a temper. Younger crowds are here but they tend to quit very quickly.
