Pros

The management seems to know the semiconductor business very well, they have a very strong culture and all the business units are aligned with the ceo. They have a clear business model and all the company aligns to it.

Cons

If your company is acquired by them start looking for a new job immediately. Your salary from your previous company will be reduced to their standards that are the lowest in the industry.

Just not who you want to be acquired by

Pros

Microcheep (that is what the employees call it on the inside) on the surface seems to be a good company, CEO says reassuring things in public, the company spends a lot on developing people, and they don't seem to make their employees work very hard.

Cons

CEO seems like a pathological liar. He even tells you in private not to listen to what he says in public. The company touts "Customers are our focus", but the CEO in private tells you "Customers can kiss my a__". Target company employees' salaries are slashed after a acquisition. They tell you ahead of time that they will give your employees plenty of notice. Reality is that VPs and Directors are pushed to cut and cut deep, so notice and severance pay are slim. Oh, and the VPs and Directors are almost all Microchip veterans, don't expect to keep your title after the dust settles. The company spends very little on R&D internally, so they need to acquire to grow. They show an 8% internal CAGR for revenue, and a 17% CAGR with the acquisitions, but I have to believe that most of the 8% comes from projects that are in process at the time of the acquisition. If you hear a story that sounds to ugly to be true, it probably is really true.
