Pros

Good working environment. Understanding management, provide the tools needed for the job and the support structure. Sensible management team eg. no layoffs during the economic downturn.

Cons

The benefits are not that great as compared to other companies. Less scope of promotion as the number of layers are less.

Pros

Good benefits - full slate from medical, vision, dental to life isurance, 401K. Competent CEO. Flexible hours for handling personal and family needs. Microchip has a good downturn strategy to avoid layoffs, continue product development, and avoid restaffing problems during recovery.

Cons

Poor performance recognition by management, and a culture that encourages mediocre performance. Actual employee performance has little to do with promotion and compensation - these are likely to happen regardless of performance just over time. Internal politics hampers product development and innovation. Offices consist of cubicle farms.

Pros

- work life balance - relaxed work atmosphere - very nice people to work with - big company policies but small company feel - CEO tells us all details in communication meeting

Cons

- big company but thinks like small when it comes to spending and planning - pay is average, not something to die for - very complacent attitude (recent past) - again since its small, opportunity to grow is not available in all divisions. In some divisions, only if person dies/retires, can a junior get promoted - merit raises get pushed for financial reasons. Stocks are given to compensate, but they vest only after 2 years. So you will loose in the short term - bonuses are capped at 20 hours /quarter
