      Pros

      Very stable company. Good place to retire out of.

      Cons

      Very monotonous. Very stable company comes with no drive or ambition. Compensation is low for the industry. Microchip's internal nickname is Microcheap, and boy to they show it. Lack of personal means Microchip is always chasing the market. It will always be around but will never be the leader. There is nothing 'fun' or exciting or rewarding in the job, it feels like mostly punishment.

      Lowest productivity Fortune 500

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pretty easy for your sunset years as an engineer. You aren’t expected to deliver much and there is little to no management accountability for deadlines. I guess you would call it good “work/life balance”. Definitely the least stress I’ve ever had in any company of similar size.

      Cons

      Engineering management really has no clue what they’re doing. Steve knows the market great and the fabs run flawlessly so production is nailed down. Microchip would shine if they gutted the middle and hired real tough-nut managers with agile experience. Microchip definitely would have to pay a lot better though. R&D productivity is probably at 30% if that. Companies should have zero tolerance for managers that suppress calls for continuous improvement and value their own personal ego over the customer.
