Micro managed , poor work life balance company

Pros

Nice technology to work on

Cons

Disrespects and insults have been one way to prove that managers are "mature" and are worthy their position. They also use mind games, to prove you're not worthy and "clip your wings". Such cultures are not conducive of productivity. The leadership seems confused and clueless. No one seems to have clarity on the priorities of the projects, so every things needs to be done all at once. There is no long term vision. The same shows in team building and other aspects of the company. There is too much ego and pride which results in managers and leaders losing track of ground reality and aspiring for goals which are not realistic. Humility and honesty has disappeared

Pros

A lot of work and learning

Cons

Expectation of work way beyond office hours. No work life balance. Seniors have ego and not satisfactory in behavior. It's a small company and you may get exploited if your manger is not competent. Salaries are below standard. Your seniors steal your work and donot provide proper guidance to let you grow

modern day slavery

Pros

Maxlinear has acquired many groups from different companies recently so you can expect tons of work but don't expect any help from other.

Cons

it is modern day slavery where engineers are treated like slave. be ready to work from 8AM to 11PM everyday including weekend. forget about family life. you will be under lots of pressure to deliver because management will be behind you all the time. Very average digital engineers but they think that they are best. Poor quality of work in India. Less salary and raise. I won't be surprised if they cut your salary. incapable Design and Verification lead. even few years experience guys will perform better than them. horrible india's office

Thank you for giving feedback. While MaxLinear may not have been a good fit for you, we are actively hiring in India and work hard to select the best candidate for each position. Work hours may be shifted some to allow engineers to collaborate with other international teams, but we don’t expect employees to work 15 hour days. In the local area (Bangalore), our current staff is seen as being exceptionally talented. We wish you the best in your next position.
