Pros

Fantastic headquarter upper management, blows Atmel upper management out of the water. Management at Co Springs factory is old Atmel management and doesn't quite compare to the quality of Microchip management but this continues to improve. 401k, 401k match, stock bonus, quarterly bonus, stock purchase plan, educational benefits, employee funded insurance benefits

Cons

often feel pigionholed to 1-5 pieces of equipement. cutthroat compettionion still exisits. you can be shown 100 times how to do something but will never be handed the reins to take the task on yourself. breaking out of department and growing career is difficult but possible. there are "cliques" that hold people in positions while advancing others.

Thanks for the review! It’s good to hear that you think Microchip is a great place to work over all and…. that you think Microchip’s upper management is fantastic. Having joined us from a recent acquisition, you are in a good position to see the differences between our culture and your prior employer’s. Microchip’s culture is grounded in our Guiding Values. We know that our employees are our greatest strength, that communication is vital and that continuous improvement is essential. “Cut throat competition” is not how we operate. Rather we see ourselves as one team working together for the success of the overall organization. We place a great deal of importance on employee development and we want to see you excel in your position. We encourage you to take charge of your own development and work with our employee development team and your manager to further your own success. Glad you joined the Microchip team!

Pros

3 days and 4 days off

Cons

Pay is lacking, new employees get treated as scapegoats by older employees leading to them walking out/quitting (been there 3 months and every week a new person quits or walks out). Negative attitude atmosphere. 50. cent raise every 3 years. Long days off but you sleep them away for the most part leading to essentially the same as a non-compressed shift. days you work you literally sleep then go to work- not much wind down time after work. Wearing a hot and itchy smock for 10 hours. Supervisors want you to find your own work coverage even 3 months in advance.
