Pros

A few colleagues at individual contributor level were genuinely supportive and tried to help each other navigate the environment.

Cons

Microchip has a deeply unhealthy culture driven by politics and favouritism. Many teams lack transparency and professionalism, and it often feels like you cannot trust HR or Payroll — private information circulates far more than it should. When the company isn’t performing well, employees are pressured to take holiday so the financials look better, which creates stress and resentment. We were also pushed into a company-wide salary sacrifice, cutting 10% of pay, and those who didn’t comply were treated negatively. Shortly afterwards, a significant number of people were made redundant anyway. Overall, the experience was disappointing, disheartening and far below what you would expect from a global technology company.
