Employees Are Our Greatest Strength
Our guiding values that define our culture and influence our day-to-day decisions as a company reflect this. Wherever they are in the world, our employees are an integral part of the company’s overall success. We designed our benefit packages and policies with their wellness and safety in mind.
We invest in employee empowerment because everything we are as a company is because of them. These are not just words: even through the most challenging times, we take every possible step to retain our people. Our organizational charts reflect this—each one of them is flipped upside down.

Employee Empowerment
Employees make key contributions when we remove obstacles from their paths. This is why we flipped our organizational charts upside down. The management staff is there to support employees and the overall focus is on serving our customers—both internal and external.

A Word From Our Veteran Employees:
David Chandler, U.S. Army
Technical Staff Engineer in Mount Holly Springs, PA
"In the Army I was deployed to Southwest Asia. My platoon provided air defense of ground assets for our ally. I trained their military and provided tours of our site to diplomats. During the deployment, I developed invaluable skills that I use today at Microchip. I routinely utilize the presentation and team-building skills from this experience. Most importantly, I gained self-confidence. I look back and realize if I was able to deploy with 20 soldiers and $30 million of equipment halfway around the world and return with everyone and everything back in one piece, no civilian job is too difficult."
Kent A. Bushey, U.S. Air Force
Production Test Technician III in Simsbury, CT
"On July 11th, 1972, I enlisted in the Air Force. After completing basic training in Texas, I went to electronics school and my job required repairing a large computer system. I was part of a large team responsible for keeping two computers running 24/7. Needless to say, teamwork was a huge part of my job. My electronics, electromechanical and computer hardware and software training allowed me to get a good paying job when I left the Air Force. I also took advantage of the G.I. bill to get my associate degree in engineering technology. I feel that my time in the service learning electronics and computer repair was very beneficial to my career because I learned patience, perseverance, cooperation and teamwork."
Michael Egan, U.S. Air Force
Senior Supervisor of Equipment in Colorado Springs, CO
"The greatest knowledge I gained was not from my technical field which I expected it would have been, but rather learning how to lead was the highlight of my military career. To lead is to jump in and work alongside your team to help guide them in the right direction, problem solve and build together. When things go bad, you pick the team up and carry on. Invest in the time needed to really understand the strengths that each has to offer. Take those strengths and apply them where everyone feels meaningful to improve the team's structure. Hold all expectations high."
Bob Craddock, U.S. Navy
Hardware Engineer in Hauppauge, NY
"Being able to apply the leadership skills that I received in the Navy here at Microchip has allowed me to advance my career from a technician to a hardware design team lead currently responsible for the output of several PCB designers."
Greg Morgan, U.S. Navy
Equipment Manager in Colorado Springs, CO
"The experience I gained in the U.S. Navy prepared me to deal with many of the challenges I face today in my position at Microchip. It taught me how being a good team member is at times much more important than exceeding as an individual contributor. It taught me the value of showing respect and how to gain the trust and respect of my teammates. One of the most important lessons I learned in my military service was how strong leadership can elevate the performance of mediocre talent, while poor leadership can destroy the morale and performance of superior talent."
Stu Chandler, U.S. Air Force
Technical Training Manager in Chandler, AZ
"As a newly recruited avionics technician in the USAF, I quickly learned the importance of a sense of mission. I also discovered that when people embrace a mission and are given responsibility, they rise to it. This sense of mission and responsibility provides the ability to maintain flexibility in a dynamic world. As an engineer, and later as a manager at Microchip, I've seen that our sense of mission and culture of empowering the individual has made all the difference. Each of us understands what we want to accomplish, why it matters and know we have a voice in the process."
Tessa Terry, U.S. Navy
Senior Inventory Analyst and Material Control Supervisor in Gresham, OR
"As an aviation logistics specialist for the Navy, I served on advanced units that were constantly deploying or training. The continual changes and challenges allowed me to develop professionally and also solidified the importance of teamwork. After separating and receiving my degree in information systems and quantum analysis, I was concerned about finding an employer that would be supportive in my transition from service member to professional. Much like the Navy, every day brings challenges here at Microchip, but with the help and support that surrounds me (at all sites), I am able to continue to grow professionally and be a part of a great team."
Employee Testimonials
Alek
Senior Metrology Technician
"The way I see it, it is simple. This company wants you to be happy, proficient and have a good quality of life. Transitioning to this company was seamless as could be and only got better from there. The camaraderie is second only to my time in the service. It is a ‘little home away from home’.”
Matthew
Corporate Applications Engineer
"I love working at Microchip because of the company's guiding values and the way that the pursuit of those values empowers employees to become not only better at what they do and further their career but become better people in the process. The work environment that results allows everyone to flourish."
Tammy
Technical Staff Engineer
"My favorite things about Microchip are our leadership, our culture and our leadership's commitment to our culture. I love the fact that employees hold our top management in very high regard; this has not been true at other companies for which I have worked. Due to our culture and guiding values, we all work together towards known, measurable and common goals. We work hard and we all get to share in the successes and rewards."
Lia
Executive Administrative Assistant
"There are many things that I like about working at Microchip, but the one thing that stands out to me is the fostering of open communication at this company. Our policy of having regular one-on-one meetings is one way we do that but also through Steve and Ganesh's commitment to organizing roundtable luncheons with employees as often as they can. It's a great way to give employees who wouldn't usually come into contact with the president or the CEO some open dialogue with them, thereby sharing ideas and insights with them."
Anthony
Production Specialist
"I really like working at Microchip. I've met so many great people here and I love that it's a team-based environment. The leadership at Microchip goes above and beyond to support employees to allow them to be successful and achieve their goals. The benefits are also fantastic and have allowed me to provide stability and security for my family."
Sean
Senior Training Specialist
"Microchip is a wonderful company, committed to its timeless, effective, values-based culture. The organization is committed to investing in employee development, team optimization and endless opportunities to learn and grow. I hope to make Microchip my home for the remainder of my career."
Shannen
Business Systems Analyst
"When I first started working at Microchip, I was surprised to meet so many people that had been at the company for 10+ years. Now, I realize why! Each employee values hard work, learning and success. Our leadership is transparent and promotes our guiding values through their actions. Microchip has created a unique culture that promotes individual growth and allows everyone to share in the successes of the company."
Leslie
