Microchip Technology reviews

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.

Pays below market rates across the board. Less innovative in many ways - often buy a company, improve its operations and "milk" it, then do it over again. They trap acquired company employees with much lower base-pay and don't make up for the difference except through bonuses. Bonuses only get you back to what you were making before the aquisition - their bonus plan is in no way an incentive.
