Microchip Technology Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Microchip Technology full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – This place requires no extra hours, has a relaxed atmosphere, and minimal process/paperwork for the engineers. It is an excellent arrangement if you have a family, or other interest outside of the workplace that cause you to value your time more than a competitive salary, and if you like to write code more than you like to push paper around.

Cons – You will need to challenge yourself if you want to keep growing, as the work environment will not challenge you. Very few young people work here. Salary is below-average. The reward system is a little strange.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Microchip Technology full-time for more than a year

Pros – If you are looking for stability, you found the right place.
Very stable, no surprises and on a personal level people are all nice

Cons – No innovation, no empowerment ( essentially all is decided by two c-level people), nothing which remotely costs money will be approached.
In here people do what needs tobe done. "Just keep it running"
Workforce has some cult-like attitude towards their leader.

Advice to Senior Management – Just because something worked 10 years ago it does not mean it's right forever.
The world evolves, so should Microchip.

Current Employee – been working at Microchip Technology full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – The people are friendly and everybody is important to their respected team. I feel like Microchip is a stable company with no layoffs in the recent past and none in the foreseeable future.

Cons – Pay raises are few and far between across the entire company. The company is very cost conscious, which is a good thing for shareholders except that as employees we end up using old and outdated equipment and computers.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Microchip Technology full-time for less than a year

Pros – Good supportive company, lots of opportunity to learn. Stable company, lots of job security.

Cons – Horrible 401k matching is discretionary therefore hardly anything is given. They try to make up for it with company stock grant bonuses but so far in my experience they fall way short. If you want to work until the day you die this is a good company for you. Health benefits also are weak and expensive.

Advice to Senior Management – Conform to industry standards and match 401k at a decent level, nobody wants to work forever.

Pros – Company culture is very, very good...Value people and make it a comfortable place to do your job and excel at your job if you are driven naturally.

Cons – Company is getting large enough that people who are not motivated can hide for a while and tag along for the ride..
