Microchip Technology Employee Reviews about "low salary"

Pros

People can join who want to waste time and do time pass. Because here performer are not rewarded. One need to be technical to evaluate the good work done by the employee. How can they praise something they don't understand. Only people with experience in the company are promoted. Great work life balance. Because nobody care if you work or not.

Cons

- It all politics. - No salary hike: They will play tactics to delay your salary hike by months and effectively 1 hike in 2 years. - No Employee roles and responsibilities document maintained. And if it exist they will everything in there power to not share it, even to managers. Because one can ask for promotion and hike - After certain level the technical knowledge ends. They are purely into politics and blame game. Sadly these people decide your promotion - All about ball game: The main objective of teams (design, SQA, APPs, SW and etc) is to skip doing work by passing the ball here and there - Majority of people are not at all bothered about project. They just want to impress there manger to get hike - Their actual objectives: 1. Employee is not our greatness strength. We do not care about them 2. Communication within team is not required 3. Make something working. What does quality has to do with it

Pros

* Same work so don't need to use brain * Paid retirement life while you are working

Cons

* full of politics for raise and promotion * Promotion(3-4% salary increase) or raise(1-2% salary increase) give as a favor in such bad economy( it always bad for them) * Manager can not digest innovative idea from Juniors.

Pros

* Flexible timings * Good work-life balance * Accept new ideas and implement it on MBOs

Cons

* Poor salary. In no way competitive to other companies in same industry * Poor management skills. Never get things done by HR. They just keep stalling requests. * Poor facilities- including food, refreshments, campus, work place. * Cheapness- All facilities provided are cheap with lowest in its class. * Old management chain. No intention to grow or let others grow by most in management chain. * No talent based promotions. Promotions are based only on experience. You can imagine how many unskilled managers are there. * No incentives for new ideas. * Poor onsite opportunities. * No fair profit sharing. Share values are good but this will help only management chain as they are the ones who own most of the shares. Employees are kept puzzled with min salary level though company is making profit over profit and acquisitions even during recession.
