Pros

None. Expert liar CEO promises one thing and does another, i.e. tells "Lunch with Employees" group randomly selected he would honor and pay Sick Leave Credits per acquired company but later denies even if several employees on the so called "Lunch with Employees" confront him with his promises and lies. Relented only out of embarrassment.

Cons

Promised no layoffs during Merger, Acquisition and Divestiture of Hong Kong Design Center yet laid off everyone after completing acquisition of knowledge base.

Thank you for providing your feedback. At Microchip, we care for our employees’ well-being at all times. Microchip in Hong Kong as well as our other acquired companies that have presence in Hong Kong have paid sick leave policy but unused sick leave was never paid/cashed out, which aligns with most of the company practices in Hong Kong. We also confirmed that there was no layoff of design team members in Hong Kong from any of our previous acquisitions. We do appreciate you taking the time to comment.
