      Take this review seriously. I have been an engineer in the semi industry for over 20 years.

      Pros

      - Work-life balance: most employees come in at 8:30am and leave at 5:30pm. I was used to working until 7pm and some weekends at a close competitor. If you never want to take your notebook home, this may be the place for you. However, it will cost you; this attracts less motivated which I did not find out until I joined. - Stock appreciation has been better than average. However stock distribution is conservative.

      Cons

      - Compared to their direct competitors (such as TI and ADI), *Meritocracy at Microchip Prevails*. Managers riding the stock are often not serious about doing extra work and seeing the company succeed. Few goals. This is frustrating for motivated employees. - Salary very low for industry. I cannot overstate that. Other semiconductor companies often have 50% higher base compensation. This is ironic considering the CEO is one of the highest paid in the semiconductor industry. From published data easily found on the internet.: "As CEO, President and Chairman of the Board, Director at MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY INC, Steve Sanghi made $10,760,942 in 2016". I believe good CEOs should be paid well, but is he worth $30,000 EVERY DAY. (do the math). note: after joining, employees are encouraged to write a (good) review on Glassdoor. This is not appropriate. I choose to write my own, from my home PC, so others could benefit from an unbiased review.

It is up to the employee if they want to write a review or not. Although, we may have different points of views, we always appreciate feedback.
