Pros

they have decent benefits, does not require physical labor, semi-flexible hours. As "secure" as a job in the semiconductor industry could be. Isn't too difficult, slow paced environment.

Cons

paycuts, raise freezes, "hiring freezes". They cut existing employees pay due to "budget requirements" and implemented a so called "hiring freeze" . Yet there are new employees and interns joining microchip, who are unaffected by the paycuts. So 2+year experienced employees are making about $4000 less than new college grads. this sort of "soft firing" will cause there to be a gap between experienced employees, and new college grads.

Pros

There are a handful of people here who are fantastic to work with, are very knowledgeable, and care about the product that's going out the door.

Cons

Leadership is fundamentally out of touch and appears indifferent to employee well-being. The culture is marred by nepotism and a lack of accountability, where 'guiding values' are preached but never practiced. Feedback is discouraged, and those who speak up are often targeted. Expect a 'reward' of more work for the same pay, as promotions are rare and promised bonuses are frequently withheld despite strong site performance. A very frustrating and toxic environment for those who value merit and transparency.
