Pros

not micro-managed, self empowered, treated like a real engineer and not a glorified technician just expected to take the heat for down equipment, aggressive with buying other companies to help company grow more.

Cons

Pay raises don't come often at all, 401K matching isn't great, vacation policy is just okay but lacking compared to other semiconductor companies, blackout period for trading stock is 50% of every quarter so ridiculously long not to be able to get to your stock to sell when you want.

Excellent place to work

Pros

- You work for MCHP, you are a part of the family. When business is down, everyone chips-in to make sure no one needs to be fired and when business is up, everyone enjoys the bonus. - Job security and very good work-life balance - Good predictable work culture; managers are created from within MCHP and never hired from outside - Dependable benefits package but nothing fancy, very helpful clinic at Chandler/Tempe office - Wise management and executive teams that have a good pulse on the semiconductor industry - Good place to work if you plan to stick around and build your career

Cons

- Not a good place if earning more $ is your first priority. The semiconductor industry growth has topped off. If your priority is earning more $, then you'll have to accept the risks and jump on to a relatively new industry where there is enough growth. - Very average canteen; not open at all times of the work day ... no free coffee either! - Depending on the team that you work for and your direct manager, external motivation can be hard to come by. There are many exceptions to this as well. - Employees with 7~10+ years of service rarely quit; hence, it can be a tag tough to move up the ladder into the management team

Pros

9am to 5pm working time frame. Very good work and life balance. Stable. Benefit is on average. Co-worker is nice.

Cons

Not motivative. No raises. The management doesn't respect you. CEO said we don't lay-off people, so we don't give raises. You should be appreciate that you have a job. Not female engineer friendly. Training is not good.
