I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Microchip Technology (Bengaluru) in Oct 2011
Interview
The interview process was quick, probably because my CV was apt for the requirement. The interview process had typical steps i.e telephonic, 1:1 & HR round. The "Open-minded" work culture was projected by the management at all levels of interview, and the same was emphasized to me for following while joining the organization. I felt really good about joining this organization.
I applied in September and they took 5 months to get back to me. Then the interview process itself took another 2 months. The hiring manager was nice enough but was misinforming me in multiple stages. Very bad experience overall, would not recommend.
I interviewed at Microchip Technology (Austin, TX)
Interview
One phone screen and one on site with several engineers sequentially. Few basic questions, nothing too technical. Easy interview. Only one interviewer asked brief technical questions. Most interviewers were interested in cultural and personality questions. Final interview was with HR for compensation negotiation, hiring manager wasn't involved.
Application
I interviewed at Microchip Technology (Tempe, AZ)
Interview
Very easy, simple questions and more of a check if I'd be good fit with the team. Maybe 2 or 3 technical questions, and panel of about 5 people. Not difficult.
