Pros

could not find any pros in a short time with this company as I came from Atmel acquisition and was laid off shortly after acquisition. Could thing noted was that Microcheep is not a product development company but a product sell company.

Cons

Lies and cheating practices will not help grow this company. This is Microcheep, CEO is a liar and cheater, present a wrong picture of things, Microcheep CEO did not keep promise and agreed severance package to acquired company Atmel's employee - all the time presenting wrong picture of acquisition to former atmel employee. Just cheated atmel employee with their severance package. when company is acquired all its assets and liabilities are acquired.

Pros

The company invested in new technologies and products producing a challenging and engaging engineering environment. The company produces cost effective products.

Cons

Atmel was recently acquired by Microchip Corporation which has introduced uncertainty in current and future positions in several departments.

Pros

- opportunities and rewards for strong performers - Company culture is real; for the most part - management walks the talk - promotes from within whenever possible - growth through acquisition has been strategic. The recent Atmel acquisition has been the biggest gamble, but will undoubtedly prove to be greatly beneficial to Microchip. - Our CEO has quarterly "communication meetings" with the entire company. The U.S. flag is always displayed prominently behind the podium (Yes - I consider this a "pro").

Cons

- 401K match is truly appalling. Guaranteed at 25% of the first 4% of employee contributions, with an additional discretionary 25% granted quarterly depending on financial results. So the match is basically 25 cents to 50 cents on your dollar. - Microchip's not a Si Valley boomer - - but neither is intel: a sabbatical leave should be considered for long term employees. God knows it would benefit both me AND Microchip if I was able to get some extended time off. - My understanding (by talking directly with others and "through the grapevine") is that compensation has been stagnant for higher paid employees for a few years now.
