Business outlook
Pros
Good benefits - full slate from medical, vision, dental to life isurance, 401K. Competent CEO. Flexible hours for handling personal and family needs. Microchip has a good downturn strategy to avoid layoffs, continue product development, and avoid restaffing problems during recovery.
Cons
Poor performance recognition by management, and a culture that encourages mediocre performance. Actual employee performance has little to do with promotion and compensation - these are likely to happen regardless of performance just over time. Internal politics hampers product development and innovation. Offices consist of cubicle farms.
