Stay away

Pros

Relative job safety. Work life balance - towards life.

Cons

If you are aquired by MCHP you either run or wait for the severance package (which is below average anyway). No internal competition, which means no progress at all. Company is not run by management but by a close circle of 5 people (no names here). Mediocre people get positions and pay above their abilities which leads them to stay and post overly positive reviews. This is no inside news, all of that can be found in literature.

Pros

On site health clinic for employee and spouse Family Day to bring your family members to see where you work Occasionally a great quarterly bonus

Cons

Hiring 'kids' who don't want to actually work at their job, they would much rather sit around and talk. Supervisors who are incompetent and are more concerned with how much work is being moved, but don't want to do anything about the 'kids' who want to sit around talking. Leads who don't do anything but sit around with the 'kids' and talk.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the lack of co-worker engagement where you work. We have many openings in our Fab in Gresham. Many of the positions we have there are entry level positions. So, the applicants that apply are often just starting out. By accepting employment with us, they have an opportunity to build skills and gain employment experience that can benefit them greatly in the long run. In this way, we also help the local community by offering gainful employment. This does not excuse anyone from putting in an honest day’s work. We expect our supervisors to engage and motivate employees and that everyone is working to their full potential. We are always interested in learning where we can make improvements, so thanks again for the review!

Pros

Relaxed and friendly work environment where people are willing to help each other to get things done...similar to a start up environment.

Cons

At Micrel, there is a general lack of enthusiasm and energy and morale is quite stagnant. I think pay may be lower than industry.
