Pros

A strong culture of team work, of looking out for each other, from the CEO to the New College Grad and the Intern. An unwavering belief that culture makes THE difference - borne out by the incredible success and growth of the company over 25+ years. When the downturn hit in 2009/10, 'Management' didn't lay people off & shutter plant, knowing the downturn would pass soon enough, and everybody would be needed more than ever before. This was a decision that Wall Street really didn't like - every other competitor of ours did the Wall St thing... Well, you only have to look at how we bounced back, workforce intact, and loyal too... and compare that with the competition, some of whom never really bounced back at all... I like coming to work - there are just really nice people here - we have fun, and we get the job done too. There are opportunities here that sometimes don't exist until you create them - and the Company encourages this! The role I am in, and the team I have, didn't exist before me - I had the chance to create the role and the team - this is not that rare at Microchip! The benefits are a real pull - the culture is fantastic & great benefits are the icing on the cake! Medical, legal, 401K - you name it - help with personal study, and the chance to give something back to the wider community whilst developing yourself too... Before MCHP I moved on every 2 years or so - I would get bored and be unable to contribute at the next level where I was. After 8 years at Microchip I am yet to get even remotely bored, by the job or the people. And this isn't a place that expects & demands you to work lots of extra hours, and to do so for nothing - it is a very rare quarter in deed where there isn't a full bonus paid to everybody - not just the sales people or managers, as in many other organisations.

Cons

If you really like to do things your own way, and not get involved in bringing in the ideas, points of view and feedback of others, this is not the place for you... BUT - if you do like to do things your own way AND are happy to sell that to colleagues and get their buy-in, then 'come on down'!

Pros

Microchip has a great culture and working environment. I worked for Microchip for 15 years and never had a day where I regretted going to work. Microchip works hard to keep it's staff happy and retain staff during tough economical & industry cycles, this something MOST companies DO NOT do! I experienced a great amount personal and professional growth during my employment and never had a manager or supervisor that I didn't like. Microchip's benefit package is very competitive and shares its profits among the employee base. The Executive Management team is very approachable and take great care not only for the companies fiscal responsibilities but also for the community through various charities. The company occasionally has to make tough decisions that not everyone agrees with or likes but is the best thing for the company as a whole. I fully trust the executive management to do what is best and make the hard decision, I can't say that about other employers. We all know you can't please everyone but Microchip tries to keep its employees happy. I highly recommend Microchip Technology as an employer, they are great company with proven results!

Cons

Microchip runs very lean so you may not be working on the newest laptop or PC/Mac a long with running lean you are always encouraged to keep spending down which at times can be annoying or inconvenient.
