Too bad there was an acquisition

Pros

With the acquisition by Microchip, there are no "pros"

Cons

The new Steve can not compare to Steve Laub. Laub had integrity, was honest and was loyal to the stockholders and employees. We may have not liked what he had to say, but when he said it you knew he meant it.

Just not who you want to be acquired by

Pros

Microcheep (that is what the employees call it on the inside) on the surface seems to be a good company, CEO says reassuring things in public, the company spends a lot on developing people, and they don't seem to make their employees work very hard.

Cons

CEO seems like a pathological liar. He even tells you in private not to listen to what he says in public. The company touts "Customers are our focus", but the CEO in private tells you "Customers can kiss my a__". Target company employees' salaries are slashed after a acquisition. They tell you ahead of time that they will give your employees plenty of notice. Reality is that VPs and Directors are pushed to cut and cut deep, so notice and severance pay are slim. Oh, and the VPs and Directors are almost all Microchip veterans, don't expect to keep your title after the dust settles. The company spends very little on R&D internally, so they need to acquire to grow. They show an 8% internal CAGR for revenue, and a 17% CAGR with the acquisitions, but I have to believe that most of the 8% comes from projects that are in process at the time of the acquisition. If you hear a story that sounds to ugly to be true, it probably is really true.
