Pros

Microchip offers a lot to employees. 401k matching, benefits, stock options, quarterly bonuses, gym onsite, café onsite, and more. Some come into the entry level role planning to stay there while others look to advance. Advancing is easy for those that show their desire to move up and ability to do their job and show up to work. You get out of this job what you put into in. They promoted 92 employees from our entry level position last year and have already promoted 30 this year.

Cons

This industry is not for everyone.

Pros

Microchip has a great health care, stock and benefits program, educational training and really great people.

Cons

Although work/life balance is promoted, it depends who you work for and if there is an acquisition going on (which seems like always). Hard work and dedication is rewarded with more responsibility, more stress and the same pay. Any change or new ideas are very slow to be implemented, if at all. Business units and regions compete for dollars so there is no global cohesiveness.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. Glad to see that you recommend Microchip. We noticed your advise to management too. While it is true that there is always a lot of work to be done especially during times of acquisitions, we think this is the case with any organization that is expanding and growing as we are. It is to be expected. As far as rewarding and “recognizing go-getters” is concerned, we actually have a quarterly review process and since the beginning of this year alone, we have promoted a total of 871 employees worldwide. We know that career advancement opportunities are important to employees and we work hard to recognize folks whenever possible. We appreciate the opportunity to comment.”
