Going downhill fast

Business Outlook

Pros

Fairly relaxed work environment. Love the compressed work week. Good benefits, including free clinic onsite.

Cons

High attrition, mediocre pay, low and inconsistent raises. They absolutely refuse to pay better no matter how many people complain. Currently cutting back staff like crazy, but the same workload, so we have to do a lot more work for the same pay. Work is quickly becoming high-stress and the positive culture is no longer.

Really great people, inclusive, supportive environment

Business Outlook

Pros

See title. Hours were flexible, and the people above me were laid back and very helpful when I needed help. Hard to ask for a better work culture.

Cons

Uninteresting from a computer science perspective. I learned a lot, but the problems I was solving were internal (obviously, given that Microchip's not a software company) and not very brain-tickling. Also, pay was not very competitive.

Great Company to Work for

Pros

Microchip has done a great job taking care of Atmel employees in Colorado and integrating them into the Microchip culture. The culture is very well defined. It is thoughtful, respectful and business oriented. It is purposeful in a very low key manner. Steve Sanghi, CEO, has been to Colorado more in 6 months than Steve Laub, previous Atmel CEO, was here in 9 years. It is obvious that Microchip loves their internal operations. Part of that love is caring for people and desiring to build a positive work environment. They are making investments in Colorado including building an on-site health care clinic that will be free for employees. Microchip has many long-term employees (> 20 years) and values loyalty. Atmel's Colorado operations fits well into Microchip.

Cons

Some of Microchip's systems are not as updated as you might expect; functional, but definitely not fancy.
