Pros

Join this place only if you have decided you have done enough in your career. Best place for retiring uncles. Nothing positive I can think of.

Cons

Never join this place as part of an acquisition. Once your company is acquired by this firm, please quit immediately as these guys have no idea on how to handle resources. Even otherwise it is a 20th century company. Slow growth, abysmal pay hikes, relaxed work culture are some of the key facets of this place.

Pros

If you are a low wage and ambition-less person, your job is secure in Microchip

Cons

A low technology company that primarily survives on 8 bit microcontrollers. Absolutely not a place for professionals. Company is controlled by a bunch of Indians, who in order to safeguard their job, will always axe any competent person. Very low skill set of personnel working and this results in lot of politics and groupism

Pros

I was working out of Bangalore and the only advantage is work timings which are 7.30AM to 4.30PM. Which would avoid lot of traffic when commuting to whitefield. That was the reason I joined this company.

Cons

There are lot: The is very little to no growth once you join the organization. The hikes does not happen every year and even if it happens its below industry standards The company is not technology focused and still work with older tools The project management is really poor as there is lack of visibility in the projects Onsite opportunity is rare and even if you are lucky they would send you for 3 - 4 weeks The finance department taxes your reimbursements also. The top management does not listen to people and the company is semi-government. The reason why its semi government is that when there are deliverable then you are expected to stay late or work from home in late hours and join calls from home. Lot of meetings held in out of office hours due to no overlap between the work timings in US and India.
